Letter to Stephanie

Dear Stephanie,

Well I thought since the first blog we put out on our page was a “letter to Stephanie” I thought very fitting to end with one. Except this time It won’t be me telling you about myself as hopefully over the last few months you have gotten to know me some. I can not believe the semester is coming to an end, and it is even crazier to believe all the work we have done. When I realized our last assignment was right around the corner I was in disbelief. As you know this class has been very challenging for me having a little one at home. I think to myself if I did not have a child to take care of I probably would have done A LOT better on my papers. I did not put all the time needed into my work as it shows through my writing.

I also wanted to mention how much I have enjoyed being in your class………..I’m not trying to be a brown noser. I just know from being an underappreciated mother and wife I like to let others know how much I appreciate the things they do for me. Your class was definitely not easy by any means but I believe you are very fair in the things you do. I would like to take you in the future but fortunately I do not need any more English for my degree, yes I said fortunately ha ha……….As I have mentioned through my writings I don’t care for writing, but if you were to teach something else I’d be there J.

I hope to see you around ICC in the future when I return after my daughter starts school in three years. I know to some it may seem weird that I am thanking you for “doing” your job, but I know a lot of teachers who do not do anything for students after school hours. You have been there whenever we needed you even when you are at home. Thanks again.


Sincerely,



Colleen E. Mathias
