Student Nomination Story

He was an adult who listened to a girl who was going through trauma- he listened to her and he cared. I am sure most other students of his have similar stories. He treated me like he believed me, and also treated me like I mattered. He is my absolute favourite teacher and a wonderful person! He helped me through the worse time of my life, gave me faith in myself, and now I have a successful career, a beautiful family, and I’m no longer a mess. He deserves this nomination, for my story of how he helped me and all of his other students stories that may go left unsaid.
