Changing Lives
I owe you a special thanks for taking some time to talk about “life”.
Being an Asian male who is in the field, proudly out, and most importantly, happy, is
who I aspire to be. Looking up to you and talking with you this past week made me realize
that it’s not impossible.
If I can impact students’ lives the same way that you have mine, I’ll be a satisfied man. I
know that this is the one field where I can do that!
You left a permanent mark in my life. You never gave up on me. You always held me
accountable, kept me grounded, lifted me up when I needed it, you were supportive, and
you were a friend.
You taught us to work as a team, appreciate everyone’s individual skills and ideas, not
to judge each other, and to be proud of ourselves, our organization, and our school. YOU
left that mark in my life and I really needed to thank you for that.
Changing Lives
“You made me laugh, you were
there to listen and give friendly
guidance and support and most
important I never felt that I’m on
my own, because I always knew
that I could count on you.”
“I wanted to send you this
message because at many
points over the past 2
years you were a colleague,
fellow student, mentor, and
friend and you played a
significant role in my life
and I want to thank you for
that.”
“I realized that you must have
seen something in me and
without your push I would
never have become the student
leader that I now am. I owe you
more than I can possibly
explain.”
“My professional, personal, and
academic growth over the past four
months would not have been
possible if it wasn't for you.”
