My teacher inspires me to

be curious,

take chances, make discoveries,

be open to mistakes…

And always leave room for improvement.

OOPS!

That means pointing out what is possible,

seeing the big picture,

and paying attention to the details.

SPLAT SPLAT, SPLAT!

I am thankful to my teacher

for thoughtful tips.

memorable match-ups,

and strengthening my skills...

to showcase and shine!

POOF!
