DEKANEY HIGH SCHOOL

STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY

No matter how many words I write, they will never be enough to show how much I love and appreciate Ms. Grays. She truly took away a fear I had of this subject, going from one of my worst classes to one of my favorites. She gives me the motivation to always do my best, and all of her support and teaching has stayed with me in such an important way, especially when I took my STAAR test. I honestly don’t think there are enough words I could ever write to thank her for everything she has done. I have always felt comfortable in her class, and every day I am just happy that I don’t feel nervous or stressed about attending. I know that if I struggle with something, she will help me without hesitation. And it’s not just me, I have seen how she helps and supports my classmates too, always making sure no one is left behind. I have even seen former students come back to visit her, and that alone shows how good of a teacher she is and the impact she leaves on people. Ms. Grays has truly made a lasting difference in my life. Her kindness, patience, and dedication are something I will never forget, and I will always be grateful for everything she has done for me and for so many other students.
