On occasion I try to capture a moment in a snapshot for a student so they can see themselves through my eyes. Here I saw a motivated student who fought long and hard for this graceful strength, endurance, balance and stability. This bench was not used on this occasion and was there “just in case”.

May your memory be for a blessing~ 🙏💖
