The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called “truth”. -Dan Rather

Don’t forget to say “Thank You” to those that have taught you along the way. Teachers come in many forms in our lives. We may not like them all. They may give us a hard time. They may even challenge you to meet levels of excellence that you never thought you had in you. On the other hand, they may be the same people that cheer you on in your journey of life. That support you when the road gets bumpy. That listen to you in a non-judgmental way and give you large doses of honesty.They also may be the type of person that does it all without expecting anything in return because it is the essence of who they are. Don’t forget to thank them.

Thank you Dr. Lan. You will be missed but I know you have many more people’s lives waiting to be touched by you:)
