PM-

Thank you for being you! You took a bold turn and became a teacher. You got out of your comfort zone, moved to the South, adopted a kid, put him through college and became an administrator. Good for you. I admire and respect you. I look forward to chatting with you. I have a lot to tell you. I consider you a friend and I trust you. I loved having you in AP European History- it seemed like a light bulb went off, and we have been close ever since. I want to make you proud. You are amazing! I can’t wait to wrangle you into my weird world of I.School.

I know you are as passionate about education as I am. Sorry, if I influenced you. It’s a blessing and a curse for sure. Thanks for your concern about my ‘hunger strike’, you care, and I feel it. And you know I have to do this. Can’t wait to catch up. See you soon. ~N
