kindness

During my time in college, I have been fortunate enough to have some amazing professors.
Things I love that they do:
1. They show pictures of their cats on the projector during class claiming things like “My cat is the smartest person I know.”
2. Teachers who acknowledge the 3:00 energy lull so they hand out candy as you walk in.
3. TA’s that were so recently students they still bash awful professors with you.
4. Things like this:




My lab professor had no reason to do this, but such a small gesture gave me a massive boost in confidence and reassurance that I’ve chosen a course of study that I can do well in.
The horticulture department is small but mighty here and each professor makes the effort to touch the lives of each student, despite their busy research schedules. I love kindness.
There’s no moral to this, just a happy thought I had today.
Have an awesome day!
