You’ve been a joy to work with. • Each one of you has given me a different perspective on how to teach, (what to and what not to do!) • I’ve learned a lot of valuable things from you. • Remember, you each have tremendous potential. You’ve just got to bring it out. • I wish you all the best! • Keep in touch • whauser84@gmail.com

  11. On a much less serious note… • Sing along if you know the words…
