A colleague from long ago takes a step up

Wanted to let you know that I landed my M and graduated a few weeks ago. Thank you so much for your help. Could not have done it without you sister, so lunch is on me.

CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve it. I have saved pieces from your M for positive reminders and guidance, so it is very valuable work you did. Lean harder WHEN you do your doctorate. : ))

Another recommendation!

Thank you very much, Tanya; you have performed excellently on this document. Good day colleagues, could you kindly include Ms. Pretorius on the list of editors

Dear Tanya

I hope you’re well. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for all the support and guidance you have given me throughout this year. Your encouragement has played a significant role in my academic and personal growth.

I am also delighted to share that I have been accepted to pursue my Master’s degree next year. I am truly excited about this next chapter and look forward to having your continued support as I work towards achieving my goals.

Thank you once again for everything you’ve done.

CONGRATULATIONS!
And thank you, this note means a lot to me.

Tightening up the academic register

Your editing has elevated the quality of the document, and I’m learning a lot by observing your refinements. Thank you for your excellent work.

Thank you. I found your master’s about ethical leadership to be so important, well researched, and relevant to corporates. Thank you for doing this research!

Blush. Found on WhatsApp status

She left a note for me with a heartwarming message about my research, along with her phone number so that I could text her anytime I need help. Arrgh mahn! What a beautiful soul. It’s incredible to encounter people who pour themselves into their work and genuinely care about offering meaningful support.

And I meant it. How lucky am I to witness the changing of the guard, from old South Africa to new South Africa. He is writing about masculinity. So beautiful.

Just wow

Wow

Dr Olutunmise Ojo

I edited and reorganised a chapter in super-quick time. : )
Also, I edited a paper of his many many many years ago on scaffolding students. It made a deep impression.

We walked together

You’re beyond incredible. This is some record time. And, by explicitly stating male bodies and female bodies instead of males and females, I think you have the answer to a current dilemma in sports reporting and screening (e.g., upcoming Olympics) ………  Magnificently spotted. Thank you.

Dr Jeannette Ziady

It’s been an honour that I could walk with you through your whole doctoral journey. You have taught me so much about the ins and outs of all the programs you touched. And been so responsive to what I can offer. And, your resilience in the face of the largest most detailed doctorate I have seen is so enviable, coupled with the way you treat people is so warm, helpful, and negotiated. I thank you for the so-many lessons.

( I can’t really send her this gushy note, but these words have been exchanged in other ways.)
