Oh my dear, you've already answered your doubts with your inner wisdom, won through living in strength, struggle, and love. I'm so excited that your presence will now impact such young humans! Years from now, as we all do, some of your soon-to-be students will wistfully recall how Ms. Martinez Beck was the teacher who ______

-stoked their passion for literature

-made it possible to keep going through a shitty home life

-inspired their career in ______

-made them feel 100% accepted

-stopped someone from bullying them

-

ad infinitum

Thank you for your courage and for risking your comfort; they cannot respond other than by returning your love for them and for learning.
