This video is made in honor of all my past, present, and future students. I want to show each and every one of them how much they truly matter to me. I always tell them that I cry after saying our final goodbye as our class ends, but they have never really seen what I feel when the room is empty. I always challenge them to be transparent and I say that I must model for them what that means. They truly leave a permanent imprint on my heart. They are my joy.
