Dear Dr. Pang,
I can’t begin to express what an impact you have had on my life. Once I decided to pursue a Chemical Engineering degree I had some tough decisions to make. I was self supporting and had a full time job that was paying my bills but not much more. I decided to quit my job and move in with my mother and give up all the financial freedom I had enjoyed for most of my life. If I didn’t make it through these last 3 years of college I didn’t know what I was going to do.
Yours was the first class that I attended at “real college”. You were a great teacher right off the bat. You explained what was expected of us, what our course curriculum would be, and most important, that you would always be there if we needed help. You were a patient teacher, and never hesitated to answer questions or help us on a one to one basis. I knew right away I had made the right decision in giving up all I knew, to better myself with a college degree.
One of the things I enjoyed most in your classes was your stories. Whether it was about the grandchildren, your travels or you college and professional career, you took time out of our busy schedules to tell us things about yourself and your life, and it made us feel closer to you not only as our teacher, but as a person.
Finally, I have to thank you for help and support you gave me while looking for a job. You took time out of you busy schedule to give me constructive criticism on my resume (which I desperately needed) and lead me the door of Technip. I can’t tell you how happy I am to be working here. The work is challenging and the people are wonderful.
I’ve had several inspiring teachers and mentors throughout my 13 year college career, but you Dr. Pang, are at the top of that list. I wish you and your family joy and happiness in the years to come. Relax and enjoy life and your family. You’ve truly earned it!
With love and respect.
Sincerely,
Michele Weidler (Wilson)
