Late but surely

Hi Sam, I am sorry to reply this so late. But I had a lot of technology problems. Nevertheless, I wanted to express this:

Thank you for all your support and for teach me so much. I hope we keep on contact.

To my dear and inspiring Sam

“The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done - men who are creative, inventive and discoverers” Jean Piaget.

I remember the first time I kinda met u. Twz at a seminar in Melia Reforma hotel and you talked about phrasal verbs. I got astonished by the charismatic lecturer and your dynamism the presentation was. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be such a great teacher as you are.
Thanks God I had the opportunity to have training with you coz I could realise what Sam embraces: optimism, joy, intelligence, dynamism.

I sincerely thank your way of being and your way of conveying things.

I wish you the best for the time to come.

Kisses andd hugs

Ireri

A great person= a great teacher

Hi Sam!

"When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece". John Ruskin




I included this quote because it summarizes the way I perceive your work.You're great, incredible... both as a teacher and as a person. Saying 'thank u' seems short to me, but those are the exact words.



Thank U so much for everything... For your advices, for the experience you shared with us and for all your caring.

Mariana

Thanks Sam

Sam thanks to leave in my and each of us a part of you, I hope that this who you leave will be reflected in each of our students, therefore my Country will be winning. So as Mexican I give you thanks to you as a foreigner, to help Mexico, I have the true conviction in that people like you, will make of my Country a better place, Thanks, for being a change agent

Rigo.

We see the future, we teach...


I'm sure that when you see this picture, you will feel proud of us, you gave us a lot, and that will last for long, but at the same time you took a lot from us for the rest of your life. Vik.

Dear Sam:

I would like to tell you something different, so I imagine that those accustomed to listening, YOU ARE SPECIAL, and I wholeheartedly thank the pleasant moments that happen in the course, you made that I like the English, now I want learn to perfect it. Thanks for teaching me to give reasons and we can become better teachers. You are truly a genuine person who leaves their mark on students, I hope to become like you only 50% of what you are. Thanks for everything and I will always remember you. You are the best!!!!

Thankful Warning Sign...

There are two words that sum up my feelings now... THANK YOU! It's been an honor to meet you and share this time with you and my colleagues. Such an enriching experience, full of good moments and plenty of experiences to share. I thank you because now I'm sure I can do many thing I couldn't do before, one of them expressing my thoughts an ideas about what I thought to be a "shortage of teaching experience" My life has changed, not only in the professional field, but also in my personal life since I met you. I've learned just by observing you that hapiness is inside... no more looking for something you already have, right? You have helped me to understand how meaningful somebody can be in one's life. You're one of those I can say have given me a lesson (believe me, they are few) Thanks for showing me the meaning of humbleness, and passion, cause they make us do our best for our students. Thanks for the support and good vibes! I have a new heroine... and that's YOU! Blessed you are and always will be! Lots and tons of love. Daphne :)

PS. The warning sign was just to call your attention, by the way.

THANKS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART

THANK YOU SAM, KNOWING YOU HAS BEEN QUITE AN EXPERIENCE, AND I THINK THAT ALL THAT HAPPEND IN LIFE HAS A REASON TO BE!

AND AS SWUAMI MUKTANANDA SAYS: "TODO LO QUE PASA EN ESTE MUNDO O EN CUALQUIER OTRO, TIENE EN LA MENTE SU RAZÓN DE SER". IT'S SO GREAT TO BE A TEACHER!

JORGE LUIS.
My dear Sam, I don't have words to tell you how grateful I am. I learned a lot of things in this course, but the most important thing is that I met a lovely teacher and a lovely person. I'll remember you all my life. You make me think in English and you make me feel great with you,in this course. Margarita

I cannnot express how much thankful I feel for your mentorship. There have been very few teachers that I can really call "Master", even in the university. you have given me wonderful tools to improve my teaching that, quite frankly, is not that good.
I could easily fit in the "boring old-style" teacher, since while I try to use modern topics in my lessons, I tend to follow ye ol'style of teaching I was given in my major.
Thank you.
Vladimir Rodriguez
PS: OK, I admit it. I just wanted to look fancy using old English for the title, which I don't speak... yet. :D

The Value of a Teacher

For our Great Professor Miss. Samantha Mace

  • How many changes have you seen throughout your life?
  • How many people have you touched and changed for good?
  • How many teachers have said: Thanks?
  • How far have you walked?
  • How much have you learned?

Yet, today we celabrate that you are what you are after being all over, after learning that much, after preparing so intensively, but the most important is that you downloaded all your wisdom over us.

We have been so fortunate to have you as our teacher, arter this VLE - CLIL course, we are renewed teachers. We are ready for the demanding generation the will trust us as their teachers and we want you to feel proud of us because we will be looking for that right moment where to bring into practice our recently acquired knowledge.

Words won't be enough, but actions will take place soon in our classrooms, and your legacy will be extended to the next generations. Prof.: Victor Diaz
