As I say goodbye, I find it difficult to put into words how much your guidance has meant to me. You have been more than just a teacher you have been a mentor, a source of inspiration, and a constant support. Your patience, kindness, and dedication have shaped me in ways I will always carry with me. You believed in me even when I doubted myself, encouraged me to push my limits, and taught me lessons far beyond textbooks. Your words, your wisdom, and your presence in my journey will never be forgotten. I wish I had more time to learn from you, but as I move forward, I will always remember the impact you’ve had on my life. Thank you for everything. I will miss you deeply. THANK YOU

Hi ma'am this might sound corny and repetitive but U were a great friend to us more than a teacher, indulging in all our fun during school and during the trips. U are the type of teacher that dav needs more of. And most importantly u never let us down as a class teacher and thank u and sorry for the trouble we might have caused u. The last vear of school was one of the most wonderful years that i have had and it wouldn't have been complete without teachers like u.

Dear Catherine Ma’am, I would rank you first as a fantastic human being, then only as a teacher. You were absolutely instrumental in proving that even English, often seen as secondary to core subjects, can be engaging and enjoyable when taught with fervid enthusiasm. You gave a completely different dimension to the subject and changed our perspectives, making it one of the most anticipated periods - a regular break from the overdose of other subjects. You had the generosity to let us play inside the class during your periods and allowed the non-subject related conversations to flourish, making the lessons feel ethereal and the subject unforgettable. The lively atmosphere, coupled with your mellifluous way of explaining chapters and poems, made Class 11 and 12 a serendipitous experience for all of us. You were so kind to give me the wonderful opportunity to be an MC after seven years, something that was never part of my bucket list. At first, I was apprehensive when you said the syllabus was dry and boring, that too in the very first English period, but I soon realized I was fortunate to be taught by someone with an impeccable dedication and passion towards the subject, as well as to the students. I am incredibly grateful for your guidance throughout 2 of the most important years of my education! I am definitely going to miss you and I really hope you lead a happy and fulfilling life from here on out.

As I move out of this chapter, I bear with me the warmth of your guidance, which has been the lighthouse in the stormy seas of my learning. You've been the gentle rain showering my growth, the solid anchor in my whirlwind of uncertainties. Your kindness is a soft breeze which everyone likes and your support was the unseen thread that kept my results and dreadful journey intact. You have molded my mind in English as a sculptor would fashion a work of art, and I shall be eternally thankful for your unshakeable faith in me. You were my guiding star, shining bright with wisdom and compassion to guide me along.Thank you ma’am !!!!

Ma’am, This ain't just a leaving note; it's a whole chapter of my life that I’ll always carry with me. You’re not just a teacher to me you’re a role model, a well-wisher, a friend, a shoulder I can lean on without a second thought, and most of all, just like my mother. From the moment I got introduced to you back in 9th grade through Deepika, you’ve been nothing but a guiding light, nurturing me like one of your own. I still remember how I’d run to share whatever happened at school every single day. Snacks break, lunch break, free periods, or those loooong calls it was all about telling you every tiny detail. And in return, you always had the right words for me. Your wisdom, your encouragement, your way of lifting me up when things felt dim Ma’am, you’ve been my torchbearer, showing me the way every single time. Your words weren’t just words; they were my fuel to keep pushing forward. In academics, you are the GOAT hands down. You knew your students inside out, and I can never forget how generous and understanding you were. The way you broke the monotony of Physics and Chemistry classes with those much-needed breaks, letting us have our paper ball cricket moments that’s something only a real one would do. And it wasn’t just about the classroom. You shared things with me, your struggles, your thoughts, and even though I might not have been able to solve them completely, I always tried to be there, just like you were for me. And Ma’am, I still tell you don’t break the streak of NOT taking Vasograin! 😤 Beyond all this, you gave me opportunities so many chances to shine, to grow, to become the best version of myself. And for that, I owe you more than just a thank you. Hopefully, we keep this bond strong no matter what, and trust me, I won’t let the trio become dormant under any circumstances. Much love and respect, Forever grateful ❤️
