Letters from "future ex-students"

Hello Everyone!

1) Dear Teacher,

I wanted to let you know that I have been accepted at UBC for the B.Ed. program to become a Math teacher soon. It is all your hard work that is paying off and I am where I am today. If you hadn't taught me long and difficult calculus formulas in a fun musical way that you did, I would not have been able to get through my undergrad as a Math major. Thank you for helping me fall in love with math by having faith in me that I could do better. I get to show off my math skills in front of my friends when I solve the rubik's cube in front of them. Thank you for encouraging us to learn how to solve the rubik's cube and many other cool things. Most of all, I am thankful for you to motivate me to become a Math teacher just like you and that too without ever explicitly saying it to me.


2) Dear Teacher,

I am so excited to tell you that I have been accepted at SFU in the biology program for my undergrad. I have been so excited with this news that I decided to email all of my high school teachers and give them this great news. I know this will not be super exciting for you as I am not pursuing math in my post secondary education; however, I wanted to keep you posted anyway. I know you tried your best but maybe math was not my thing. I never understood those derivatives and integrals that you taught us in the calculus class but I remember you always offering me extra help after school. So, thank you for trying even when I had decided that I cannot do math.
