Dear Jazmyn,
You are an amazing and very talented young woman. I needed a laugh this morning. Thank you! I’ve been writing my father’s Obituary and collecting pictures of him for his funeral. He passed from Covid. He passed on his 88th birthday. My mom passed several years ago. I like to think they are in Peace together now with Jesus, praising The Lord!
I pray you continue with your passion to draw and learn as much as you can. My last degree is in Higher Education where I retired after working for over 30 years. I’d be happy to guide you any way I can. I still have many local contacts. You should be able to get a full scholarship at a premier university. Please email me so we can start a conversation.
You are young but start exploring now for your future. I love that you are a volunteer. Please stay positive and keep moving forward in your academic and helping others. Remember to have fun too. Please stay healthy and wear a mask always. Help keep your family and community healthier. God bless you! Dr. Ruth
