time talking to our class. We have started repeating your slogan
each morning before class starts: 'I am important. I can...I will...I
will not quit.' I think it is so important for students with learning
problems to see adults who struggled as children, but overcame
their problems.You are an inspiration to so many. Keep up the
great work, and God bless you!"
