Dear
Professor
Chen
,
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
you
for
the
guidance
you
have
given
me
this
past
year
.
Your
careful
feedback
on
my
capstone
research
taught
me
to
question
my
own
assumptions
,
and
the
hours
you
spent
helping
me
shape
my
graduate
school
applications
gave
me
a
confidence
I
did
not
have
on
my
own
.
More
than
the
practical
advice
,
I
am
grateful
for
the
way
you
challenged
me
to
think
—
to
build
an
argument
carefully
,
to
defend
it
honestly
,
and
to
revise
without
taking
criticism
personally
.
You
showed
me
,
by
example
,
what
rigorous
and
thoughtful
work
looks
like
,
and
I
will
carry
that
lesson
with
me
long
after
this
semester
ends
.
Thank
you
for
being
the
kind
of
teacher
who
sees
students
not
only
as
they
are
,
but
as
they
could
become
.
It
was
a
privilege
to
learn
from
you
.
With
sincere
gratitude
,
Elena Vasquez
