"In the beginning working with you I was concerned, as you know. But now, I only hold feeling of admiration for you. I think you are a remarkable woman (both professionally and personally). I would like to take this time to thank you for continually allowing me to raise my bar. I have grown more professionally in the past 6-8 months than ever before. You have taught me so much. I also have this feeling of comfort with you that I've never experienced with another supervisor. I know that if I don't understand something, you don't look down on me, you explain and see it as an opportunity to develop me."
