I am a firm believer when a person is doing well we should acknowledge it in the moment, just as we are quick to identify less than desirable behaviors. My son, Ishmael is assigned to Dr. Williams Earth/Space Science class, when I say that she is the "Ishmael Whisperer" it is truly an understatement of the phenomenal work she has done. My son is an introvert by nature, he has anxiety and ADHD, he always strives for perfection, but is shy when it comes to asking questions. Dr. Williams has a gift, she has been able to awaken my son in a manner that honestly only one other teacher has in the past. Ishmael has been in Segment 2 for only four weeks but is half through the course; he is just excited to work and learn new things. If I could take Dr. Williams with us through all of his academic endeavors, I would. I truly don't know if this email has truly captured the appreciation and gratitude we feel to have her as a teacher, she is one of the best.

Truly in awe,
Dr. J.
