Alex and I wanted to thank you for being Alex’s Buddy this year in Mrs. Harris’ 4th Grade Classroom. Due to your tremendous help and support, Alex had a very successful year. It takes a Special Person to volunteer and to make a difference in a person’s life! Helping those in need on a daily basis five days a week for an entire school year is no easy task. Both of you are outstanding individuals and there is no doubt that you are headed towards great things.
I hope that this experience has changed your life in a very positive way. I have been a dedicated volunteer for over 36-years and can say without hesitation that it has been the most fulfilling experience in my entire life other than being a dedicated mother to twins with Special Needs. I am also excited to report that Alex made Principal’s Roll for the third trimester in a row and his twin brother, Jay made Honor Roll two semester’s in a row. I am very proud of both of them!
Being a compassionate person is a gift that both of you should be very proud of. You cannot learn to be a compassionate person … you either are or you aren’t. Compassionate people are sensitive, kind, respectful, and good listeners. Compassionate people are also great leaders because they are open-minded at seeing all sides and not just their own. Compassionate people are also good at problem solving for that very reason.
Thank you again for making a difference in my autistic son’s life. It is people like you who give us hope for a brighter future for Alex!
