Dr. Bingener will always be one of the most important teachers in my life. I will never forget how safe, loved, and special she made me feel every single day. She didn’t just teach us letters and numbers — she taught us how to be kind, how to help each other, and how to believe in ourselves. Dr. Bingener has such a strong and caring heart, and you can feel it as soon as you are around her. I admire her so much for working hard to earn her doctorate degree and for never giving up on her dreams. She shows me that you can be strong and still be gentle and loving to everyone around you. Because of Dr. Bingener, I understand how powerful kindness can be. I will always be thankful that I was her student, and I hope she knows how many lives she has touched. Because of the love, strength, and encouragement she showed me, I want to become an anesthesiologist when I grow up so I can help people when they are scared and need someone to take care of them. The kindness she gave to her students will stay in my heart forever, and no matter where life takes me, a part of her kindness will always be with me.
