I feel so lucky that you were part of D____'s education and personal growth.  When he came to you he had a negative attitude toward education and was forming a negative opinion about his ability to learn.  Through your work with him and the creation of a positive safe learning environment D____ looks forward to school. He is an avid reader and has discovered many new things through his passions and exploration of knowledge.  I cannot thank you enough for being amazing at your job and being an amazing human. I can also tell through how the kids interact with you that we are not the only family to feel this way.
