Christine, my literal second mother….

I just wanna start by saying how much I love you and how much you mean to me…. A LOT. Christine you have shaped the person I am today…. like seriously. 

Whether it is about pure academic and life or about stupid memes and dad jokes, you have brought new perspectives of “living” to me and gave me a platform to develop my personal voice. You are so extremely sophisticated with how you listen, talk and teach. From our conversations, I have learned how to be (or pretend to be) the bigger person. You taught me diligence —— to never take things for granted and to never complain about the road I choose; you taught me perception —— to always follow your heart and to always face life obstacle with objectives and faith; you also taught me braveness —— to simply be comfortable feeling alone and weird in this world of chaos. I have stumbled so many times but you gave me the strength and hope to stand up again and again because you have always believed in me when everyone refused. 

You care so much about your students the world literally does not deserve you. I am so thankful I have met you and had the opportunity to learn from you. I never would have thought I would be meeting such an amazing person at my lowest but also be sharing my highest. There is no adjective in SAT vocab that can ever be used to describe you because you are just that special! 

Thank you Christine for being my second mother, I will forever and ever and ever and ever love to grab coffee with you! Can not wait to to continue to bug you with cute pics of random things~
