Hello Dr. Diaz,
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday. It seems every student and teacher I talk to wants to express appreciation for your inspiring presentation. Our students had a blast learning about your story. They were greatly inspired. I heard that the class that we added at the last minute (Mrs. Piar) ended up loving you so much that they want you back here. I also heard that a student googled you and found more interesting facts about you, wow! I’m mega happy with our students’ feedback regarding your memorable presentation
We can’t thank you enough for sharing your time and talents. We look forward to having you again in the future.
