Ms. Maharaj genuinely seemed like she cared about her students and compared to the other teachers I have/have had, you don’t get that very often. I was really happy to have a teacher who really wanted to try and connect with her students and cared for their well-being no matter how much it didn’t show.

To Ms. Maharaj... Thank you for being one of the most incredible, kind, and helpful teachers I've ever had. You have taught me enough to last me the 15 years of school I have left. I will forever be grateful for your generosity and compassion and I'm so glad that I get to see you for the next 2-3 years of high school. I promise to visit your class everyday and let your future bio students know that they can ask me for help anytime. Sincerely, Kelly D.
