Comments from Advisor

NAME:  Dr. Amy Johnson

Jackson,
Congratulations on this momentous achievement. I bet you didn’t think it would ever come, especially this last semester. But you should be proud of yourself for reaching this milestone…I certainly am. And you won’t regret having this degree as it will only open doors for you.
I hope you learned things that you will use going forward, but more importantly, I hope you learned about yourself. Remember what I always say, don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Learning what doesn’t work for you is just as important as learning what does. You are a good person Jackson and I enjoyed having you in class and working with you. Good luck with everything and if there’s anything I can ever help you, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.
