# i am awesome collection This is the curated collection of notes, positive feedback, awards, etc. that I've gotten over the years. This is good to look at when I'm not feeling so great about what I'm doing with my life or when I need to share a positive testimonial for professional purposes. I have a much larger collection saved privately, here are just a few of the excerpts. --- ### student testimonial I really enjoyed my time in your class. I enjoyed how passionate you were each morning and how hard you tried to actually teach us something new each day even if it was something small. You give a damn and I cannot express how much I respect and appreciate that. I wasn't always the best student though…and I apologize for that. I should've given you the same time and effort that you gave me. --- ### student testimonial from a weekend workshop **what did you like about this class?**  completely jump-started my entry into web design **what did you like about this instructor?** talented, patient, enjoys teaching, depth of knowledge on subject and a nice feller **comments:** this class was the most effective use of time i have ever experienced in that i have been given enough training, head start, tools, resources to allow me to conquer the mysteries of html/css + web design - i see light at the end of the tunnel in just one weekend - awesome - chad is an excellent teacher - don’t lose him. --- ### random spontaneous comments during a class session - "the vibes are immaculate here" - "this class is 100% the best I have right now" --- Hey Mr. Chad! I was working this week on a few different projects and I thought of you. I wanted you to know how important your class was for me, so many of the skills I use every day for my job are ones I learned in your class! And I absolutely love my job, I’m so thankful for the path that started in your class. Hope all is well with you and that the school year is going great! --- ### note from parent of student I just want to thank you. I'm so glad my son is attending the Computer Graphics class at Eaton ISD this year. Today, he had several reasons not to go to school today, but he went anyway. I credit you for that. 1) It's snowy and icy driving today. 2) Several schools in Michigan are canceled due to threats. 3) He is feeling slightly "under the weather" this morning,  Nothing bad … just out-of-it. 4) Our only car is in the shop and won't be done until later today.  My husband usually drives him to LCC West in the morning. He really wanted to go to school today, so we called a cab. I just wanted to let you know you must be doing something right for a teenager to want to go to school so bad that he takes a cab!  Thanks. --- ### even more student testimonials [page from an online presentation to potential Eaton RESA students.](https://chad-bennett.github.io/visitation/testimonial.html) ---
