Thanks man. By far the best thing about my job is getting to be a tiny part of these big moments in my students' lives. In this case, just being an audience for her retelling of the event was a blessing. I am really lucky to be surrounded by examples of strength, perseverance and kindness everyday. It gives me Hope for this world.

I'm glad it made you think of Dikinson's poem. It's a powerful one. Thank you for reminding me of it.
