I wanted to take a moment to talk about Gretchen and how wonderful and amazing she has been as my learning coach…how amazing this journey has been…there was Gretchen always in my corner giving me the support I needed not just for school, but also for life…the thing that I appreciate about Gretchen the most is her non-judgment…the   kindness and the sensitivity that she showed was amazing…she knew when I just needed a little encouragement…I have seen exceptional kindness from Gretchen in working with her students…how lucky I am that I worked with Gretchen…I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Gretchen and I am sad that she will not be my coach for my next journey…I am sure that she has touched many people and will continue to do so.
