Thank you for always being with me to guide me through writing and just school in general! You always helped me with Forensics since 6th grade, and I've improved greatly in my writing and speaking skills since. Thank you for also being an incredible advisor that was always positive and enthusiastic! This year in english, we explored topics that I thought would never be explored because they were quite dark. However, you made it possible because you were so passionate with your teaching. I hope you have a fantastic retirement!

I will miss you Carla.  I am happy for you and excited to see all that you achieve.
