"The Greatest Sage and Teacher of China" -- Confucius (B.C. 551-479)
Dr. Bosart to me Once a teacher, for life a father-figure (一日為師,終身為父 )
Influenced My Life the Most

Overall
Through Dr. Bosart’s loving teaching in all aspects, I have gained precious wisdom,which tremendously influenced my life, either in academic achievement or in personal characters. Never will I forget the kindnesses, patience, and love that he cultivated in my heart, so I may harvest the abundant fruit in my life today. Hardly, could I put down my gratitude in word, and all I could say is “Thank you so much Dr. Bosart”
