Thank You, Mikayla

I was very surprised that Mikayla made a special visit. She stopped by to give me a flower! Mikayla had already completed her senior checked out on the previous day. She has been a great student all year. While we didn't speak to each other much, I have enjoyed seeing her serve as an athletic trainer during many football and basketball games. I am very grateful. I haven't seen the movie Coco, Mikayla told me that the quote is meaningful in context. I am also grateful for her kinds words in the card. (From 6/1/2018) 

Mikayla was honored earlier this year at the Senior Night of the Varsity Basketball Game:

Thank You, Anthony (Keychain)

Thank you, Anthony, for this beautiful hand-made key-chain. (From 5/15/2018) The week before he graduates, he also gave me a copy of his senior portrait.

This reminds me of the first gift I've received as a tutor in 1996:
