Ms. Merino is honestly such an amazing teacher. She has this way of making everything we learn feel like a total adventure instead of just another lecture, and it’s the biggest reason I actually look forward to coming to class every day. I can tell she really cares because she always take a second to check in and see how I’m doing, which makes me feel like more than just a random student in a chair. She has helped me stop worrying so much about being "perfect" and taught me to just trust my own ideas, and I feel way more confident because of it. Whether she is helping me through a tough assignment or just being supportive of what I'm doing outside of class, it means a ton to know she has my back. Ms.Merino is just the best!
