When we talk of a good teacher, we mean someone who always makes sure that her students

are well taken care of even outside the school premises. Miss Nduku, you have always seen

something beyond what other people see in me, you have always taught me to keep calm in

whatever that I do and you have always taught me to face whatever challenge that comes my way

with positivity. You’ve helped shape who I am and guided me towards success. You have

encouraged me to dream big and work hard to make my dreams come true. You have always

made school to be a much better place to be, you have always made time to read my endless

poems nomatter how exhausting it may sometimes be and you have always turned the moments

of despair into moments of laughter. You are more than a teacher to me. You are a source of inspiration, knowledge and unwavering support. In your classroom I found not only an environment of learning but also a sanctuary where my dreams were nurtured and my potential was unlocked

and for that I want to say “Thank you my dear teacher”. Thank

you for always trying your level best to make me see the best version of myself that I possibly can be, thank you for

unfolding me, thank you for building a solid foundation inside of me and I am proudly saying that “I

am a product of Miss T. Nduku”.
