Patient Determination
Mrs Saldiva was at Rosemont Middle School teaching 6th grade in 1986. Thanks to her, I learned that I was worthy of care and patience. She worked very hard with me to develop a confident young woman and for that I am eternally grateful. Through her eyes and compasionate love for her students, I accepted myself and realized my own true
capabilities. Helping her afterschool did not stop when she was no longer my teacher, but I continued as long as I was in that school. 24 yrs later, She is still embedded in my heart to remind me not to give up on myself even when all others have, and there have been many moments that my hope was steadfastly holding on to no more than that.
