SUKARI SMITH
WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
This teacher is awesome for multiple reasons. Those reason are that she is helping me grow and learn! She always helping me when I need it she helps me with assignments or even just with real world situations. She always helping me and others in her classes with understanding what are are doing during class and helps those that are struggling with getting stuff done and those don’t try in school she still puts the time to help them succeed in school and in their future! She takes time out of her day to grade our assignments and stays later then she is supposed to be to helps us get the grade we need. Some things my teacher do to make me excited to go to class is she motivate me to work and achieve my goals that I set up. She always has something that fun to do during class like making them fun to do for example she would set up games that would us help us before a test or quiz. I feel like her doing stuff like this before a test or quiz has helped me and my other classmates get a better grade in her class and has helped us communicate with our classmates. What she does to let us know that they care about us is her making us set goals and helps us achieve them I feel like her doing this shows she does want us to succeed in our future! Also like her doing reflection of grades every quarter shows that she wants us to learn from our mistakes and improving from them! What she does to make me a better and more confident student is she always reminds us that we can do anything we want do and encourage us to participate in class and helps with talking to each other like for example she start with asking us questions and then let us talk to each without her help I feel like that has helped a lot cause at first I would be nervous to talk to others but with her helped it let me more confortable to talk to others. Yes she has supported me inside and outside of the classroom for example she is always supportive to my goals and what I want to do in the future she helps with pursuing the career I want. She has supported me outside of school by helping me achieve other goals I want to do and encouraging me to succeed and being available. My teacher is always available to me which makes a big difference in my learning. Whenever I have questions or feel confused I know I can reach out and get help. They take the time to explain things clearly and never make me feel like my questions are unimportant. Even outside of class she provide ways for me to ask for support which helps me stay on track. Knowing that my teacher is there for me gives me confidence and makes me feel supported both academically and personally. Also she has provided strong academic support that helps me succeed in my learning. She explain lessons in a clear and understandable way and are always willing to go over material again if I don’t understand it the first time. She give me helpful feedback on my work so I know how to improve and she provide extra resources like study guides or practice activities when I need more help. Because of her support I feel more confident in my abilities and motivated to keep learning. Overall Ms. Smith has helped in so many ways and she is one of the best teachers I have had. She has always supported me and encourages me to keep going with the career path i want! I am grateful that I have a teacher like her who can help me in so many ways! I feel she should be a nominate teacher who has made a meaningful difference in my life and in many others lives. I always see her past student going to her if they need help with something or just advice on what they should do. Every time I am in her class I learn something new everyday! I genuinely think she wants all her students and pasted student to be successful in life! She is a really good teacher and she deserves to be recognized for her work she has done! 🙂
