An Anonymous "Thank You" Letter

Over the years, I have received many thank you notes from my students. As I was clearing my room today, I stumbled across some of them. I was greatly encouraged as I read through the old letters and emails from appreciative students. They reminded me that my work matters. Teachers have the wonderful privilege of planting seeds in young hearts and minds. 

Below is an interesting letter I received from an anonymous student. It was a timely note as I stepped up to be Vice-Dean (Academic) of the school.

Dear Professor,
I do not know you and you do not know me. But I had heard many stories of how you tried so hard to fight for us Real Estate students. More often than not, your efforts tend to go unappreciated. So here I am expressing my gratitude for all your relentless efforts in building a strong real estate brand name in the industry and garnering more prestigious internship roles and job opportunities for all of us. I will be sure to support DRE when I make it big in future. I can literally feel your passion for DRE. Please keep your spirits and I'm sure more people will be able to feel your passion and join you in building up the brand name of RE. =)
