My first memories of school come from Mrs. Driggers’ kindergarten class: I vividly recall playing in the classroom loft and reading a book all by myself for the first time. She created a caring environment that fostered joy, curiosity and creativity. Thanks to her, I developed a love of learning, from language arts to the sciences. I am incredibly grateful for the support she gave me throughout my childhood, and
I will cherish my kindergarten experience and her kindness for the rest of my life.
