I'm a teacher at RAHS and I can tell you she is ADORABLE 😍 I have seen her letters and they are an inspiration to all teachers!! We are very lucky for our students, they all are very kind and we are a team, we encourage each other!!! Very proud to be at Roseville 🌹
A pat on the back goes a long way 👍
Her parents taught her well 👏
What a great kid! I wonder what her plans are in the future?
What a beautiful beautiful soul. ❤
So wonderful. Not just Mina, but a positive story. Thank you!
I'm in tears. What a great child.
What a sweet girl, ❤❤❤
Bro why are my eyes wet
This is extraordinary, too bad more kids can't be like her!!
May the Great Spirit watch over you. 🙏
I loved seeing this story. Minah is a beautifully unique student.
She's so sweet!
Someone started Go Fund Me for Minna to give her the opportunity to go to college.
There are more good teachers than there are good nurses, doctors, and especially police officers but they get paid the least. I only had 1 "bad" teacher in grade school and 1 in college. That says a lot! They should be paid the most they are saving lives while dealing with 20 different children at a time. Teachers are so much more than educators they deserve the world
And this, kids, is why we work on our penmanship.
It's a rare find, coming across a video or story, so moving, that it takes just over 2 minutes to pull on those strings, and get a tear out of me. So well done on the amazing story!👏💙💯😥😊
I've been a teacher for past 2 years and honestly that student is an Angel. God bless her soul ❤
Thank you
Fake news for minority PR
I’m not a crier and I’m typing through tears. She’s already figured the secret out at such an early point.
Props as well to her family for raising a good kid. She mentioned at the end it had been a tough year. But with her infectious positivity, that winning attitude will definitely help her go places.
Including myself, I wish all students appreciated teachers during their formative years. It would make up for what they don’t make in pay.
I do that with my elementary school teachers!!!
It's called gratitude. Something that people need to practice more these days. She has it in droves.
I always appreciate people who spread positivity and add beauty to the world. This wonderful young woman is making the people around her feel good about themselves. Quite a shocking thing in the age of the "Karen."
I wish I had students like Minna Yang , but nope.
That’s amazing!! She is one to transcend what it means to appreciate and love others, religiously.
As a teacher, it's so great to get thanks and notes from students. Classroom was always a joy for me as a teacher. I was a stock broker and banker before coming to Malaysia but started teaching English as a volunteer, then loved it so much, that I got a teaching certificate and enjoyed almost 8 years in my new career as a teacher. This is a sweet story to share when there is so much, politically wrong, in American schools right now.
A life lived in gratitude is a successful life. Wishing you nothing but the best, Meena. You are inspiring.
Things that don't make you a bot we should all be appreciative more
Her parents did a great job. Shes a special young lady for sure and will continue to bless her college professors im sure
I'm balling up. What an inspiration.
Was brought a little bit to tears by this. Never used to feel anything about anything. Now, seems like everything makes me emotional. Does anyone know what might be the reason?
Beautiful. I'm lost without words. She doesn't realize how much she's blessing others with those notes. It is life changing.
She's so thoughtful and lovely. Everyone should live a life of gratitude and kindness. ❤
Appreciation, gratitude, and acknowledgment are not highlighted enough. Thanks for the break in the doom scroll👍
