STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
1. Dr.Holloway is actually an amazing teacher despite the unpopularity with students.
A. He gives actual advice
B. He shows that he cares for his students performances and future.
C. He handles bad behavior really well, and even educates the misbehaving students for why they shouldn't be doing what they're doing!
D. The list goes on forever.
2. Dr.Holloway class excites me to go, because I am ready to learn, and hear motivation that he gives.
3. How does Dr. Holloway let us know how he cares about us? OH BOY, I know this REALLY WELL. He checks up on our grades once in a while and asks us why we are failing. He ends up telling us how we can improve and even had us write an essay to keep for how we can improve our grades and follow thst list. Dr. Holloway is very wise with us, so we listen, and we improve better than ever.
4. Dr.Holloway makes me more confident as a student. He has supported me from the beginning and he hasn't let me fall at the end. He tells me that I can be great, that I can always do better, and that right there, encourages me and my peers.
5. Dr.Holloway supports me from inside the class by telling me what I need to improve and gets the job done. He also encourages me, pushes me to my limit, and tells me how that limit doesn't restrict anybody. He also supports me outside the classroom by nominating me for the Young National Leaders Conference, a organization that teaches young people how to lead. This organization has also given out scholarships, so I appreciate Dr.Holloway for even inviting me to go.
Overall, Dr.Holloway is an absolute powerhouse of a teacher because he encourages us to do better, how we can improve grades, AND cares for us as a student for our future and performance. He doesn't just talk, he brings his word, and because of him, earlier today one of his former students came to talk to him on how much he appreciates Dr.Holloway for pushing to the well living life he has now.
Thank you doc, I really appreciate you.
