I cannot thank you enough for your consistent support. Your office was always a caring environment and one where you made me feel as if you cared about what I had to say. You cared more about my strengths and abilities instead of just focusing on how you could erase my weaknesses. You were excited to hear what I had to say and always pointed me in the right direction.
