A Thank You Letter from a student from Mauritius.

~ This email came in on 15 February 2015. I've decided to share this nice letter to everyone. To encourage those who think you do not have good support or lacked resources to do well, there are always avenues you can excel and produce quality work. However at the end of the day, your decision matter. A decision to give yourself a chance to produce work to the best you can. This student signed off as 'NSF Dev' did not have the privilege of have me in person to explain to him concepts or to guide him in his coursework. But nevertheless he helped himself and was happy with his efforts.~

"dear mr.daniel,
 
i was not actually a design and technology student, instead i was studying design and communication(o-level). it's like a derivative of design and technology, i don't know if you know the syllabus, but it was quite similar. i am from mauritius.
almost every student took private tuitions especially for coursework. but i did not. lawl.
there was a lot of peer pressure but i still did not.
fortunately, approximately 2 months until submission, i found your blog. your blog was like my tuition but online. getting tips and all that. i had to fork some things due to the different syllabus but it was still very very very helpful. i read nearly all related posts and files related to things i was looking for. thanks to you, i went back and edited all previous segments of my coursework with your tips and suggestions(we can do our coursework on pc here btw). i realized all the missing critical parts i did not know of thanks to you.(especially on research and analysis, and ideas.).
guess what...i scored an A. an A!! not being mean but that's better than 80%  of the dudes who took tuitions. lawl. there were 3 who scored an A* though. who cares. ok maybe you will since you're a teacher. shoot.
i'm now 17, doing my last two years at school(a-level). although now i dropped design and technology(it becomes d&t for a-level). now, i'm studying computer science since i love computers and there is no coursework and it's less bulky. yes i'm lazy.
anyway, i guess i won't be visiting your blog now. and i guess you won't be reading this pointless e-mail. and knowing how you indirectly made a student score an A.
THANKING YOU,
ex-design and communication student from mauritius who just remembered you from looking at his "design stuff" folder on google drive."

~ Dear NSF Dev, I am very encouraged by your letter and more excited about your achievements.You did a great job. mrdanielsos ~
