Dear Mr. Elder,

Although I did not interact a lot with you, I want to thank you for being an inspirational role model for me. I enjoyed talking to you and meeting you on Revisioning day. Your family stories and the advice you gave me will always motivate me to keep working hard. You answered my questions about pursuing a major in science which I deeply appreciate. Your guidance really helped me feel more secure in pursuing the major of biochemistry. Thank you for being an active member of our community and for being a dedicated science teacher. I appreciate the number of hours you put into teaching Anaheim High School students. Thank you for planting the seed and foundational skills our students will need in the future. Aside from me thank you for inspiring all generations before me. I will miss you and as well as all the faculty, staff and students in Anaheim High School. Remember, Once a colonist always a colonist.

Sincerely,

Melissa Herrera
