To my professor, Dr. Reed

Even though it has been two weeks since Dr. Reed had left us, I still cannot believe that he really left us. As everyone said, he was my best teacher. He always encouraged me and gave me opportunities to be trained as a scholar.

His picture at this blog makes me miss him so much. He might have been smoking in front of East building when Christine took this picture. I know a few things that he liked… Winston cigarette, Oren’s coffee with two Splendas, and doggies… Even though I don’t smoke, it was a great time to chat with Dr. Reed when he was smoking and it was fun to buy one more coffee for my professor.

I cannot forget his classes. His statistics and methodology class is one of my best classes in NYU. He showed me what a professor should feed a student. If I will be a teacher or professor someday, I will follow him as a role model.

He said he would travel after his retirement. He traveled too far away, too soon. I will not forget him. Thank you very much, Dr. Reed!
