Dear Frances, It is true!

My mother believed in what this country could be. She believed so much that she was willing to use her children as weapons of change. What mattered was that it couldn't stay the same. I, now wonder, what would she have thought, would she have cried to see what has happened in her country?

She believed. And because of that belief, so do I. I never questioned, or wondered why, I just believed, in spite of all the negative that I experienced, I have gained immensely for that experience.

I became a teacher, not because I couldn't "do", but because I had to share and influence, let others know; Frances gave me an incredible gift.

I could learn, and we all realized that I am no different, I, as you, improve through learning.
