Being a determined teacher and perfectionist, Ms.Marriet expected the best out of us. However, I failed my first term math exam and had no courage to sit in her class. Ms.Marriet helped me by solving each question of the paper under her personal guidance. In addition she counselled me to help overcome my shame of having failed and fear of poor performance in future. The moment that stands out for me is when I got a perfect score in the finals and she took no credit for it. She took the moment just as calmly as she would in a regular day’s class. Failure and success made no difference to her. It was only the learning she encouraged and achieved. Her dignified cool composure, intelligence and humility will never be forgotten.

Rather than teaching us WHAT to think, he taught us HOW.

He made us question every assumption, made us explain everything. “What makes you think that?” was his favorite response. I learned that I had an individual voice, that I could think for myself and had a responsibility to do so. It was so freeing, so energizing.

Cruz, my friend, guide, and my very first campus journalism adviser. After four years, meeting about a hundred of other outstanding teachers, I’ve yet to meet someone who could match her enthusiasm and passion for teaching. I’ve yet to look at another pair of eyes glowing with such zeal and spirit as much as hers did. And wow, she was persistent alright in cultivating this awkward, messy-haired, unrefined, inarticulate, poor-postured, and perpetually confused teen. She never stopped til I “I lived up to my potential”. I remember her asking me random questions only to be followed by unending “and then?”‘s . And I thank her for that, thank her for pushing me, giving me that blazing head-start, thank her for being the model for all my convictions and virtues, giving me the dream to contribute meaningfully to this world, to expend my life consecrated to pursue an ideal greater than myself. In a talk with her, during my last days at that elementary school, she told me “Always be curious, remain wholehearted”, And I’ve been through a lot but I’ll be going through a lot more, and I’ll keep those words close to me. Thank you ma’am, I’m forever grateful.

He identified my love and passion for science and encouraged me to follow my dreams . Also he told me and still keeps on telling me- ‘Stay Hungry, Stay foolish and Stay curious’, ask questions then only you understand the things. I wish I could play a role similar to him in future to give courage to people to follow their dreams.

Kinoian of Fairleigh Dickinson University of Teaneck, because he helped me understand literature. The moment that stands out for me is when after a semi disastrous spring semester of American Lit with him, he asked me how I felt about his class. Being the only foreigner (Malaysian), I told him I can read all the books but somehow just couldn’t get it. Come the following Fall semester, I enrolled in his second American Lit Class. He started by saying he spent his summer rewriting his class materials because, and I quote him, “somebody didn’t understand my class last semester”, and looking at me in the eye. I felt small. Yet, big at the same time.
I come from a country where education is forced curicullum. Here, somebody I barely know was willing to go the extra miles to help a kid in a foreign land.
I owe you that Prof. And I practise to my students what you gave me.
Thank you

My personal growth, the growth of my students, and the growth of the world around us. As a teacher, I am privileged to be involved with the process of growth on a daily basis.

My daughter did NOT like kindergarten. She had a difficult time in first, second , maybe not so much Third, fourth definitely and fifth grades. Her sixth-grade teacher was , in her own words, “a different world”. which totally prepared her for Jr.High. And now she is eager – EAGER!- to go to high school. So, thank you.

Sahni has huge impact in my life. He opened my eyes to what I could be, what I could do, in a way that I’ve never thought possible. He took an ignorant student and made her want to see the world and beyond.I found guidance, friendship, discipline and love, everything, in one person and that is him. – Garima Jain, Sr. Research Associate, JIBS & Assistant Director, CVPS, O.P.
