I met professor Festa Monica in summer 2019 as a professor of English Composition 1. When she first showed up in the classroom, I felt good because something went inside my heart telling me that I was going to have a good semester. The fact that I took this course with her made me advance my level in English even more, especially after leaving the language center that I had for one year. I liked the fact that she was emphasizing using sophisticated vocabulary when it came to writing essays. Therefore, I seized this opportunity to memorize and pick up many difficult and advanced words in English. My writing skills have developed since then. She gave me so much inspiration and motivation to keep writing, to love writing with my inner soul. She made me challenge myself to take risks and draw my path to success thanks to her nonstop encouragement. When I sought advice I found her by my side, which extenuated the fear and isolation I had for speaking English in front of my friends. I aced her class with a happy A that made me realize how my writing skills have improved beyond all expectations. When I found out that she is teaching a creative writing class, I tended to take this class for spring 2020 to even more enhance and fulfill my desire for writing. I really enjoyed her class back then. I fell in love with her writing, with her teaching, and with her behavior. I was enthralled with how she made me be inspired by writing poems, short stories, my own memoir, and this free writing creative journal. Professor Festa Monica has a heart of gold, a perfect personality that does understand her students very well. She never made things complicated, and yet, this pushed me to adore both classes because they were made for learning but not for testing our abilities as many professors do. She made me love being a professor, someone who teaches creative writing by heart as she completely did. I wish other professors could be like her, just like her. She is wisdom, love, and passion.<\/p>\n
