Oh my gosh, Ms. Joliff!!! Hello!!! How did this get to you?! This actually brought me to tears. A good ol' fashioned tug at the heart strings. Those morning words meant everything, and you absolutely were foundational to my education and my personal development. Thank you for reading, and for everything in between <3

Actually Carol Diaz-Zubieta passed it on to me and Mrs. Diaz and Ana Diaz-Zubieta. We have commented on how proud we are of you. I hope to continue to be encouraged by your words.
