I know we are in 2023, but I received my card November 2017 from my school, after I had a very unexpected rare heart attack called SCAD. (Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection) Jon Petz signed my book. He told me to continue to share my gift with students, community, and the world. I recently attended a race in Chicago Illinois, called SCADaddle. The race raises money for SCAD research. I met so many people that had SCAD affect them and/or their family. Many did not have the positive outcome I had. At that moment, I remembered that my family, friends, and community helped me get through this experience in a positive way. I have been asked to talk to someone who is conducting research about the mental health of heart attack survivors. She wanted to interview me because of my positive outlook on life. Thank you to my family, friends, school, and community for helping me remain positive and do what I love doing teaching first grade.
