Milestones are crossed hand by hand, rather than alone. Almost all new students were welcomed by this familiar face who offered nothing but endless knowledge and patience. However, all good things reach an end. As the fall semester ended, we had to bid farewell to our dear instructor, Dr. Helene Kanso.
It cannot be argued that she was a catalyst in igniting a spark within all her students, making sure they felt confident about themselves and for that, we will remain forever grateful as she helped us find our way within this vast field of intimidation. Though we may be physically apart, she has engraved a piece of herself into all her students. We wish her all the success and health in her new endeavors.
