I’m a second-year scholar for the IWL and I remember you coming to speak about your hardship on working with the administration that you were in before. It’s tough trying to want to see change and not getting it, but you noticed that you were in a bad situation where you were letting yourself become weakened by the negative environment around you. I think that’s something good. It seems to me that you battled through it, tried, and realized that it’s time for you to go. Though it may be the case, you haven’t lost. I’m sure while you were there, your personality and your way of affection and approach towards your students should let them know at least that there are people who care about them more than they think.

Good luck with your future pursuits! Continue to inspire.
