It's Never Too Late to Appreciate . . .

What Camille wrote:

"Mr. Stephens has taught me many important lessons that I needed to know. My favorite is, 'Everybody is good, but nobody is perfect.' This helped me understand that everybody makes mistakes, and we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves; but at the same time [he] encourages us to try our best. He makes sure that everyone understands what is expected and helps everyone to succeed, even if they need another chance. He makes learning as exciting as it can be by telling interesting stories from his life to go with each lesson. He is an honorable person who[m] I admire."

What Mr. Stephens said:

"Cami Goold is every teacher's delight! Cami works hard at everything she does. She takes school seriously, yet she has a great sense of humor.

"I tell my students to be truthful in all things and to be kind to each other. Cami has a high sense of honor, and she always sets a good example for other students in these areas. . . . She is one of our student council representatives, and her sense of duty to the class is always evident. Her hard work in school pays off because she has top grades. She pushes herself to take the 'extra steps' needed to be successful. She actively gets involved in many enrichment areas, and even though it means more work, she takes it in stride. She is learning every day, and her enthusiasm for learning is contagious."
