But I really wish that she pursues her studies further. We both shall work on this." She said there was one way to do this: "You will have to convince Prasanna to come to my class once."
“I know that she is scared but once she comes to my class, I will make her feel welcomed and comfortable." I also thought that this was a respectful way for both of them and so. I agreed. .

I am very much interested in studies and my fiancé also wants the same. I encouraged her and told her about my meeting with her teacher. I told her about the teacher's positive response in detail. I said, "She knows your interest in education and she is hoping that you start your studies back soon. She is waiting to welcome you to her class, so you should go ahead and start attending the class. "Prasanna was still skeptical about her teacher's response.
