A young teacher shares a touching moment from her teaching practice experience as she receives a friendship letter from a JSS2 student who boldly expressed admiration for her.
Shared by @bennedictta on TikTok, the letter revealed the deep appreciation and desire for friendship from a JSS2 student who had been awestruck by the teacher’s kindness, beauty, and elegance.
In the letter, the student, who described themselves as dark-skinned and a student of JSS2 B, shared his admiration:
“You are soft-spoken, elegant, beautiful, gorgeous. You made me stunned since I met you. My aim of this letter is to tell you how much I wish to be your friend.”
The student also expressed their hope that the teacher would not view the letter as a form of disrespect, a concern often held by young students approaching teachers for personal connections. The letter went on to highlight the student’s deep respect for the teacher, calling her his role model and comparing her to a guiding light:
Some teachers find it hard to accept a child’s proposal because they see it as disrespect. I am pleading, accept me to be your friend. You need to look at yourself, you are beautiful. Without your light, I am in a dark tunnel. You are my role model.
The heartfelt message quickly gained traction on social media, with viewers commenting on the sweet and sincere expression of admiration. Many praised the student’s courage and emotional maturity in writing such a letter, while others commended the teacher for inspiring such a profound connection.
