One of the best things that could spell utter joy to a teacher is when a student comes back and tells how much difference you have made in her life. Today I am blessed with such joy because of a letter from one of the scholars of Food for Hungry Minds in its High School Program. Ayi graduated Elementary in Food for Hungry Minds School - Makati last March. She is in now in first year high school in Philippine Normal University Laboratory High School. Here's her letter.
Dear Teacher Candice,
How are you? I hope you're doing good. I am happy now with my new school. During my first day, I felt miserable. It was horrible and was such a disaster because it was so different from my old school. All the things I saw were new - new classmates, new teachers, new environment, and new faces, but I was determined to make friends and at the same time excel in my studies. On my second day, I could already breathe well because I already made new friends. My first quiz in Math was great because I was the only one who got a perfect score. In our first quiz in Science, I got 14 out of 15. I also joined the Math Club.
I realized that I have a big advantage in my subjects because our lessons here were tackled in Food for Hungry Minds School. I also realized that we had everything in Hungry Minds - crayons, markers, and dictionaries. I promise you that I will not waste this opportunity that you have given me. This is my stepping stone for success. I would also like to thank Teacher Amie and Teacher Olive who have been my inspiration in my studies. They taught me that I may not have money, but I have knowledge.
Thank you and God bless you!
Ayi
