Lovell, I think that many high school students can relate the passion you speak with, however, not many understand how to direct that passion. You engaged them with your passion, then opened up new directions that they could go with their passions. I love that the message you sent came at a time in life when most people are ultra-consumed by the busy schedule they have. You have shown my students that it is completely possible to do well in school and contribute to a better world at the same time. So thank you for the passion, direction and practical insight that you gave my students. It truly was inspirational!
