I owe you a special thanks for taking some time to talk about “life”.
Being an Asian male who is in the field, proudly out, and most importantly, happy, is who I aspire to be. Looking up to you and talking with you this past week made me realize that it’s not impossible.
If I can impact students’ lives the same way that you have mine, I’ll be a satisfied man. I know that this is the one field where I can do that!

I owe you a special thanks for taking some time to talk about “life”.
Being an Asian male who is in the field, proudly out, and most importantly, happy, is who I aspire to be. Looking up to you and talking with you this past week made me realize that it’s not impossible.
If I can impact students’ lives the same way that you have mine, I’ll be a satisfied man. I know that this is the one field where I can do that!
You left a permanent mark in my life. You never gave up on me. You always held me accountable, kept me grounded, lifted me up when I needed it, you were supportive, and you were a friend.
You taught us to work as a team, appreciate everyone’s individual skills and ideas, not to judge each other, and to be proud of ourselves, our organization, and our school. YOU left that mark in my life and I really needed to thank you for that.
Changing Lives
“You made me laugh, you were there to listen and give friendly guidance and support and most important I never felt that I’m on my own, because I always knew that I could count on you.” “I wanted to send you this
message because at many points over the past 2 years you were a colleague, fellow student, mentor, and friend and you played a significant role in my life and I want to thank you for that.”
“I realized that you must have seen something in me and without your push I would never have become the student leader that I now am. I owe you more than I can possibly explain.”
“My professional, personal, and academic growth over the past four months would not have been possible if it wasn't for you.”
