Much love to your family.Īnjelee Perez: RIP Mr. You told me that I will have a good life. That encouraged me to have a passion about books. You always told the class, that this too shall pass: No matter how hard life goes, you keep going forward. When I heard the news about you, it hurt me in a way that I can’t imagine. It was an honor to meet a teacher like you. Thank you for everything.īlair Misir: Thank you Mr. You always helped us even when we were confused with the work. It’s truly a shame that he’s gone and I hope we can remember the legacy he left behind. O was always positive everytime I saw him, whether it was Global or outside Global, he would either be helping someone out or just being chill. Thank you so much for allt hose great conversations. He never gave up on me and it hurts me knowing that such a great teacher isn’t with us anymore. O constantly believed in me and he never gave up. O’s student in 9th grade, I was an AWFUL STUDENT. He would ask questions and be intrigued so that he would stay in our memories.ġ0th Grade Student: When I was Mr. O was always open to new things like when I told him about my family’s indigenous language. He was always a true example of an educated black man. He always wanted to help you if you were confused or even if you were having a bad day, he could lighten it up. He got me cake from the break room and told me not to say anything. Even when he found out that I wasn’t participating anymore, he still supported me.ġ1th Grade Student: I will never forget our good conversations. He didn’t treat me any differently because I am a girl. He was being very supportive and inclusive with the drills. O: We were in the gym early in the morning practicing for the basketball tournament. Kristia Lawson: A memory that I have with Mr. I couldn’t believe you are not with us anymore but you will always be in my prayers. Every moment I had with you is the happiest moment and I will never forget those little moments we had together. You are always cheerful and make people smile in any sad moment. You are the best teacher I had in all my 4 years in BRHS. Every morning you would come to us and say hello, do the handshake, make funny jokes and make the morning the happiest. You always made sure that I fully understand. O: You were wonderful inside and outside. The man truly was one of kind and words will not be able to explain how grateful I am to have crossed paths with him where a young adult like myself needed a figure of guidance. O undeniably was one of the purest souls within our school community and has left a legacy within the Bronx River community that will not be forgotten by us students.

It’s something I’ve carried on my conscious throughout this school year so far and is one of main reasons why I continue to strive to be the best version of myself.
#TRIBUTE TO MY FAVORITE TEACHER TV#
He reminded me of the potential he saw in me and told me, that one day, I’ll be able to make it big enough to where I’ll be on TV as well. Sometime ago, earlier this year, he stopped to tell me he had seen someone on TV who truly reminded him of me and told me one day that could be me. Often times, he would stop me in the halls or pull me aside in order to simply remind me that I have endless potential and there’s nothing that I couldn’t do. O was in my corner, praising the work I do and the efforts I make to be the best I can be. From the moment I stepped foot into this school, Mr. He always showed kindness and caring.Īlexty Perez: Coming in as a sophomore into a new school wasn’t the easiest situation for me and was very difficult to adjust to. O as a teacher every year of high school.

Seniors Sultana Akther and Forida Parvin say they were lucky to have had Mr.
