To each of my students:

Thank you for spending a part of your life with me.
Thank you for spending a part of your life with each other.
Thank you for letting down your guard to let someone get to know you.
Thank you for opening the eyes and ears of your heart and mind to let yourself get to know another person.
Thank you for the hugs, the kisses, the smiles, and the frowns, the suggestions, the long nights of rehearsals, the honesty, the apologies (giving and accepting), the candidness, the jokes, the prayers.
Thank you for not being sure at the low points, but not giving in, and thank you for seeing and being the highest point I have ever had in my life.
I truly appreciate each and every one of you.
