My 8th Grade English Teacher Just Sent This To Me

Evelyn, Since I did not get a chance to return your extended response to you before the end of the year, I wanted to send you a quick message now that I have had a chance to read it. I have been an ELA teacher for seventeen years, and your extended response is one of the best, if not the best, pieces of student writing I have ever read. You are an extremely gifted writer: you have an outstanding sense of voice, and you provide mature and insightful analysis. Additionally, because you read so often and challenge yourself with complex texts, you have developed an innate ability to write in descriptive, complex sentences. Needless to say, you earned a 100. I hope you have an awesome summer, and I look forward to working with you again next year. - Mr. Green

I am so shocked. I thought he hated me. And he's looping up so he'll be my teacher next year.
