Dear Governor, I had the privilege of teaching your book to my mostly POC special needs students. I had to convince these young men that they will grow up! The thought of second chances, allowed me to convince a few of my students to attempt more difficult essays. They wrote of decisions in the past that they regretted, and discussed other, better decisions that they hoped to make in their future!!! Future!!! In Sept, I had to convince them that would live, and now they were writing about their futures. You gave them an example to follow, and I couldn’t be prouder of their growth!
