لأسباب معينة أنا مابشيرش الرسايل اللى بتيجى بمدح أو شكر أو أى شىء من هذا القبيل .. يمكن واحد من الأسباب دى معروف للدائرة القريبة منى و هى إنى شايف إنى لسة ماعملتش أى شىء حقيقى أستحق عليه أى نوع من أنواع المدح … وسبب تانى هو إن ده مش حيفيد أو يفرق مع أى حد إنه يقرا رسالة شكر فيا ..
لكن الرسالة اللى مشيرها دى لسة واصلالى حالاً .. و هى لوحدها فيها سبب ليه أنا باشيرها .

[2:58 AM, 5/21/2017] : I don’t know where to start but I’ll just write and hope I don’t forget anything!
This might be too long so I’m sorry in advance but you really helped me a million (you have no idea) It means a lot to me and I feel like you need to know this!
Honestly, I hated courses before I got to meet you! If it wasn’t an online course, I’d mostly be discouraged to attend as I always had this feeling of being caged between 4 walls and stressed because of my tutor’s expectations, trying to memorize and understand every word, trying to focus on one subject and not letting my head drift into other related topics. I felt very limited and I always thought that the problem was me because everyone else seemed to be fine with it.
The first day of our course I was really worried but I was willing to sacrifice my comfort zone because I was waiting for this course for too long. I wanted to take actual steps into becoming what I want to become even if it meant getting help from others. But what I feared the most was having to deal with another robot like boring tutor (that’s actually an insult to robots but I’m just trying to clarify 😂) However, because God is very generous, you were nothing like that!
First thing that caught my eye was that “Info for geeks” section on the board! I immediately knew this would be fun! Even tho I’m not a super geek sadly! But I love geeks and I love their world and it’s been always very interesting to me and very related to games. So, knowing that I’d get to learn more about art and geeking at the same time was such a delight for me!
Yet, you didn’t stop there! You continued to surprise me! You started giving us bits and pieces from almost every branch of science! Which is SUPER! I know some people might find it not interesting but to me it was a huge plus! I’ve always wanted to know as more as I could about everything! Even the things I don’t like because it felt like a shame to miss out on information that might be of help later in my life. I loved how you related everything to everything! that way, my mind was actually fully focused on the whole subject with its related branches! And it’s really a wonderful feeling that I’ve missed so much. (Speaking of subjects I don’t like! I actually hate math but you succeeded in referring to it without making me feel bad. That’s another plus for me.)
I thought to myself (before we started to dive a bit into Photoshop) that even if I won’t learn anything new about photoshop, this course will definitely not be a waste of time nor money! And guess what, you actually topped that by giving me a lot of very useful, very important and very “not easy to find fast on the internet if you’re learning alone” Photoshop related information and tips! Which I’m hugely grateful for.
Moreover, You actually were able to inspire me and help me summon my creativity and thirst for productivity! You even helped me with work tips! I left the course everyday humming to myself with excitement because of all the doors of possibilities that you opened for me and returned everyday as early as I could and even more excited to open new doors! Seriously, It felt like a kid going to a candy store and coming back home with loads of gifts and goods! I really thank you so much for that! To combine fun and meaningful learning isn’t something that everyone can do.
Apart from all this, I really look up to you! because you’re like the evolution I’ve always aimed to become. I’m really glad to see that it’s actually possible for a human to be like me (someone who’s interested in everything and doesn’t fit in with most people’s expectations) and then become somebody as great as you! It really does give me a lot of hope and excitement. (Not saying that I’m not great, too 😛 but I’m still not happy with my level of productivity. I still have a long way to go!)
I’ll be really forever grateful to have met a person like you! I loved how you set such an amazing example even tho you might not have noticed. You were always very patient, very helpful, very understanding, very well mannered (I could go on and on) yet you pushed us to become better and improve without making us feel bad about it! I’m actually really very happy that I finally am confident enough of my work to start posting it online and put myself out there!
I’m really proud of you. I’m also really proud to have been taught by you! And just in case you doubt it “YOU SHOULD REALLY BE VERY PROUD OF WHAT YOU’VE BECOME, TOO!” And it’s really a shame if some people don’t see how awesome you are.
Sorry again for the long paragraphs 🙈 (You gave a lot and it’s only fair that I give you my feedback and gratitude back)
PS. You’d probably know me anyway and I don’t mind telling you this personally at all! But I like the mystery factor (even tho I’d mostly be very distracted and forget most of these, writing is wat easier for me than speaking) 😂 Anyway, this isn’t really about me! It’s about how much of an amazing person you really are.
