Dr. Wykesha Hayes,

I'm not really sure who decided to celebrate TEACHERS & NURSES in the same week but a little reflection will remind one of the similar impact. Having spent the past 11 years working closely with both teachers and nurses I can comfortably assert their VALUE is truly remarkable.

This logo was designed by my younger cousin for my dissertation presentation. I needed something to represent the bridging of the gaps between schools and hospitals so i thought it fitting to use it today.

I think most will agree that EXCEPTIONAL teachers and nurses carry similar dispositions.

1.) They Lead with Care:

2.) They embrace uniqueness and diversity

3.) They Commnicate compassionately

4.) They are agile and flexible

5.) Dedicated to building others

With all of this, I want to thank you for showing up despite the numerous challenges you face daily. I want to thank you for giving more than you often recieve. You are admired and you are greatly appreciated.
