Our Sisters in Iran

My first job in Hollister was teaching 8th grade algebra. One of my students, a young girl from Iran, was really struggling with the concepts so she stayed every day after school to get extra help.

By the end of the school year, she had brought her grade up to a B and was honored at the year end assembly with a "most improvement" award. Her parents were so proud.

She wrote the following thank-you on my white board. I can't remember the exact translation but her sweet smile said it all.
