Cole's students love him. One student wrote "when you have Mr. Cole as a teacher, you don't have just a teacher, you have a friend. Someone that will help you when you need it most. Someone who takes their time to help you... He taught me how to believe in myself.. you never gave up [on me]". They even made an acronym for his name C-coolest teacher ever. O- optimistic, always looking for best work. L-legendary, takes you on the best adventures. and E- energetic, so much positive energy makes the worst days better.
