                                                         they do not meet this standard, they feel as though they
                                                         have failed. In reality, they are simply being human. Mrs.
                                                         Ryan was always able to recognize our efforts and could see
                                                         the potential in us even when we could not see potential
                                                         in ourselves. She explained to us that, although we do not
                                                         always succeed, our effort is not wasted. She taught us the
                                                         importance of striving toward our goals because, even when
                                                         we fall short of those goals, we still grow as individuals.

                                                         Mrs. Ryan not only taught us valuable lessons through
                                                         her words, but also through her actions. Many teachers
                                                         expect to be treated with respect from their students, but
                                                         Mrs. Ryan truly earned our respect through her leadership.
                                                         She always seemed to communicate with us as though we
                                                         were her equals because, instead of merely lecturing to us,
                                                         she would have conversations with us to make sure we
                                                         truly understood the concepts she was teaching us. In my
                                                         English class, after grading our essays, she would take the
                                                         time to make audio recordings of her analysis for every
                                                         student in the class so that we could each hear directly from
                                                         her what our strengths were and how we could improve.
                                                         Furthermore, in my Research class, Mrs. Ryan would talk
                                                         with us individually to make sure we understood our
                                                         research projects and to give us the opportunity to discuss
                                                         any concerns or questions we had. Mrs. Ryan went above
                                                         and beyond to express how much she cared about each of
                                                         one of us and our learning experience.
