I remember when I first met you in that health class we had on Saturday! That was our last semester before graduating and look at where we are now! One thing I really appreciate about you is that it seems like when you talk, everything you say is purposeful. Like, I could see you being a really good lecturer making all these impactful speeches lol

Laura

gfernandez31 — 2020-05-07 01:57:26 UTC

There has always always always been something so calming and familiar about you, and maybe its because you remind me of my best friend, IDK, but that's to say that its always been so easy to be myself around you and that truly the epitome of your spirit, so sweet! I am going to miss you so much!!! You are going to make a fabulous teacher (you already are!) -g

Judy
