Thanks, Dr. Smith

This past week, Illinois College (and the Jacksonville educational community) lost an incredibly valuable individual. I won't say that I always got along with the guy. In fact, there were times I downright didn't care for him. But in my experiences, the most unnerving educational experiences tend to bring the best out of me. Regardless of where we were on a personal level, we respected each other, and he cared about my future as an educator.

In just six months, you influenced me more in the educational sense than many people can in a lifetime. Thank you, Dr. Smith.
