Dear Mai-laoshi!!!
Thank you so much for all your enthusiasm and support!!!!
I remember starting at Carleton as a freshman and taking Chinese with you!! Your enthusiasm and love for the language was contagious and it led me to do a study abroad program in China my junior year! I still keep in touch with the friends I made from my freshman year Chinese class and you have remained one of my favorite professors at Carleton College!! Professors like you have changed my college experience and now as an assistant professor myself, I always aspire to be someone like you!!!
Thank you so so much and happy retirement!!!!
all my best,
Nozomi
