Cataldo came into your life. I hope that you will have the opportunity to thank him both personally and by paying his kindness forward.

And like you i also had mentors that without them i don't know what kind of being i'd be today. It is said that that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger. And look at you now, a teacher yourself, giving from the heart to the under-served. Thank you for inspiring us to be better persons. Enjoy the journey!
