I’m a simple ag teacher just trying to make a difference in the lives of the students that come into my classroom

Received this card at a Human Resources conference along with the book Significance, while hearing the story of Nathan in the conference I cried. then went to room that evening and read the book, I have always tried to teach my daughters to look around and to know their worth as a child of mine but more importantly as a child of God. And that they have a purpose on this earth but never thought of telling them about the small purposes. Until now I have passed this book on to them and the look on my 17 year old daughters face was amazing. She is going through so many emotions right now going into her senior year of high school and she actually said to me “I’m going to slow down a little not feel so rushed and just enjoy the days with my classmates, eyes wide open and a smile on my face and not worry so much about the rush to find my place as an adult”. Even if we worry about tomorrow so much is happening today to enjoy so thank you and my daughter for a lesson I will not forget.

Patrick waited in myself and my son today at a local restaraunt. What Patrick didn’t know was how much my boy needed today to be special. He has worked the entire summer and not had a chance to do anything FUN! I took off to make a day of Top Golf and lunch of his choice. Patrick’s fun attitude about work and excellent customer service made an ordinary visit extraordinary! Thank You for that! Please pass this on to someone who makes a difference for you!! Keep smiling!

I loved the book. I will be passing it on to my daughter who is a very Courageous, Giving, Adventurous woman. She has spent the last five years living in Nicaragua working with the children and teachers there. Living in one of the poorest countries in the world, learning their language and adapting to their ways. She has told me many stories from riding the chicken bus to the sadness of the kids not having toys. She and her friend ventured out on their own to do this amazing work and have now formed their own Non-Profit organization, www.futurerootsproject.com. Please check out their website and see what this amazing woman is doing!

After receiving the card for helping my daughter to prepare for an exam, she instructed me how to pass it along. I saved it in my wallet for weeks waiting for the right person to pass it. It was a Monday when a series of unfortunate events had make my day a nightmare, then I needed to print a document from the internet and I found this place where Zach offered to help me with no charge, just to help somebody, then I dropped my wallet and Zach called me back and save it for me, definitely he made my day and he is the living proof that there is people out there willing to help others without reward.

Growing up I never really had a father figure in my life. My “father” didn’t care for me, love me or show me that he was blessed to have a daughter. Matter fact he would tell people that he knew, that he only had a son.. That hurt me to the fullest. Well, Saul has been there for me for as long as I can remember. When I first met Saul, i wasn’t too sure about him because I didn’t know him at all. But, I’m so thankful for him and everything that he has done for me. He has taken on one of the hardest challenges in life and that’s playing the “father” role for me and my lfie. He gives me advice when I need it, he is always there for me to support me in every little thing I do whether it is big or small he is there cheering me on. He always tells me I’m beautiful, and that he is so thankful to be apart of my life. Without him, i don’t think I’d be where I am today, or matter fact doing the things that I’m doing. He has always motivated me and pushed me to never give up on anything and that I can always do anything I put my mind too. So I’m giving him this card to tell him and show him that i appreciate him and i love this man so much. Even though he didn’t create me, I still look to him as my father, and someone that I can run to whenever i need to vent. He has very good listening ears, and he is very honest with how he feels towards certain things. When I had big events going on for sports, and or school .. Saul was there.. He was there through everything. He’s never left my side nor abandoned me. I love this man so much.! He has impacted my life to the fullest and he also has made the biggest difference for me. It really takes a strong soul and mind to do what he has done.
