Student Nomination Story

I first met Ms Heida in a rough time in my life! No one knew I was dealing with depression. Ms. Heida always was there for us! She never made us feel that we were just a number. As she always made sure to check in with all of us student! She made a effort to establish a connection with each student! She made coming to school something that I looked forward too! As I was dealing with my depression Ms. Heida was there for me to talk to and gave me positive words of encouragement! She’s now has become a mentor for student dealing with homelessness! She truly has made life something positive for my life! She has no idea how much of a positive impact she has left on me but other students as well.
