Post 28: A Mentor's Letter

     This image is made from the original letter that my favorite Advisor wrote for me when I completed high school at Jefferson County Open School (JCOS) in the year 2000.
     I was I think 22 at the time I graduated high school, but I did so because I had made Bruce a promise.
     While the signatures of many Hixsons before me may not have held the same merit, I feel that my name is worth something because I hold high my ethics of integrity.
     This was a lesson I was taught through the rites of graduating at JCOS, even after so many difficult years, and learning to trust myself again. I think what others in the local system tried to take from me the most was my sense of trust in myself, which I never lost as a part of this lesson through this man's teaching. So, here is the letter, and the remaining light that empowers my story as an adventure. He proofed it with me on this sheet of paper, before it was put to letterhead. He is an amazing teacher, just as a human being, as well.
