words from mr. rodriguez (choir 2nd-4th)

Dear Isabella, 

By the time you read this you will be on your way to college in order to fulfill one of the most precious dreams of any Kippster. 

All I can say is that I am very proud of you and your hard work. Also, I want to thank you for being a role model and a great sample for the rest of your classmates and Dreamsters since you were always reading to grow your brain.

Likewise, I want to thank you for being a founder of our KIPP Dream Prep Seeds of Hope Choir. Thank you for always being there supporting our choir with your time and amazing talent. 

I will never forget how you covered for one of your team mates that morning at the Houston Zoo concert where you courageously sang her solos. You did such a wonderful job singing and filling in for her that our choir will always be in debt to you. Seeds of Hope shined that morning because of your great talent and courage. 

Isabella, I might not see you again, but I want you to remember that it was an honor and a privilege being your music teacher. May God bless you and keep you in all your ways and allows you to fulfill all of your dreams by shining brighter every day with the power of your knowledge and talents.

Your music teacher,

Mr. Rodriguez
