Congratulations to
Life-Changing Teaching Award Nominee
MICHELLE NGUYEN
HOUSTON MIDDLE SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
Ms. Nguyen is a teacher who truly makes a difference. She taught me and my two siblings, and we all loved her because she made us feel supported and valued from day one. Her classroom was always a welcoming space where learning felt comfortable and not intimidating. She explained lessons in a way that made sense and encouraged everyone to participate without fear of being wrong, which made class something to look forward to. Ms. Nguyen showed that she cared by checking in on her students, being patient, and always offering encouragement when things got hard. She helped me become a more confident student by believing in me and pushing me to do my best, even when I doubted myself. Inside and outside the classroom, she was always willing to help, whether that meant staying after class or simply listening. Having the same positive experience with her across all three of us shows just how special of a teacher she is.
