Dear Ms. Goka, You have seriously impacted my life in a great way. I will never forget the conversation we had back when I was in 8th grade. I was decided to leave Ann Richards to go to Austin High with my church friends. But you convinced me that Ann Richards was the best for me, and you were right. You know how I believe God guides my life and He is what inspires me everyday. I truly believe He put you in my life, specifically for that moment. So that I would not make the biggest mistake of my life and leave the school that helped shaped me to the strong student and woman I am today. Thank you for believing in me and for always continuing to cheer me on. Happy Retirement!
