When I look at my Testimonials page, I often well up with tears. I am so blessed, and so grateful to have been, and continue to be, a motivating factor in the lives of so many beautiful and talented people. I think that I should write about each person who has written me a testimonial. Many of these students know each other from way back when, and some met while in college. Each one has brought me new challenges in teaching, and helped me to grow as a teacher and as a person. I have learned that each voice, as each person, is unique and wonderful in its own right, a thumbprint that can never be like any other. I love my job, which is to nurture each individual and bring the best out in them; not just their voices, but their hearts and spirits.
