Teaching is Very Rewarding
A student surprised me today with these very thoughtful gifts. I was overwhelmed to see the time and effort he put in to them. He 3D printed my logo and my favourite picture from my wedding. When you hold it up to the light, the picture reveals itself. I still can’t believe that this is…
