RICARDO MONREAL
IRVING HIGH SCHOOL

STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY

An awesome teacher I have is my choir teacher, Mr. Monreal. He makes class exciting because he brings so much energy and passion to choir every day. He doesn’t just teach us how to sing—he helps us feel confident performing and encourages everyone to try their best. His positive attitude makes me excited to come to class and be part of the choir. Mr. Monreal shows that he cares about his students by always supporting us and making sure everyone feels included. He takes the time to help us improve our voices and never makes anyone feel bad if they make a mistake. Instead, he encourages us and reminds us that learning and growing takes practice. He also helps me become a more confident student. When we perform or practice difficult songs, he motivates us to believe in ourselves and keep trying. Because of his encouragement, I feel more comfortable singing in front of others and sharing my voice. Inside the classroom, he works hard to help us learn music and work together as a choir. Outside the classroom, he supports us by preparing us for performances and always being someone we can ask for help or advice. Mr. Monreal makes choir a fun, welcoming place where everyone feels valued. Overall, Mr. Monreal is an amazing teacher who inspires his students to work hard, believe in themselves, and enjoy music.
