Dear Editor,

Sometimes it is hard to find the right words to commend someone that you know or believe deserves more than the words or adjectives you know to describe them. I looked for a more suitable adjective to describe my speech instructor for the first summer session, Dr. Linda Long, but all in vain, then at least I thought I should say something although I would not do her any justice because of my limited English vocabulary and grammar.

Her approach to the teaching profession is one that can be used towards life at large and you can never regret choosing her way. At the beginning of the semester, I was more than afraid because we had to learn everybody in the class’s names and the adjective that describes them best.

After a few days, I learned more names than I expected to learn and met wonderful students, and Dr. Long was our instructor, our mother and our friend in class for the few days I was in her speech class, and I personally wished every instructor I took was like her.

She made me think positive all the time I was in her class and I really and truly commend her as an exceptional professor and a wonderful lady who never ages with time and never gets deterred by life’s difficulties and challenges.

I wish her all the happiness life can offer.

Yours truly,
Ahmed Hassan
