That quote made me internally swear a lot. What kind of teacher would say that about their own student? A miracle? Clearly it wasn't due in any way to YOU then, was it, jerk. Obviously it is awesome that she is so young and so accomplished, but if you've been teaching her and listening to her and mentoring her, it shouldn't be a MIRACLE, you should just express your pride. Bastard. Un-womanlike instrument my ass.
