I always share stories of people who have overcome the odds with my high school resource room students to motivate them never to give up, even at things they struggle with most. After reading Layla's story from the beginning and being so inspired personally by it, I asked your permission to share it with them. Layla has reached so many people with her determination and "joie de vivre." I would like to thank you, Scott, and Layla for inspiring my students and me. You have touched many lives by telling her story. |
