"Good job recognizing that teachers don't get enough appreciation! Too few people do. I got a little introspective over that, thinking about how I view everyone around me and whether it is beneficial to me and them. Thanks for opening up that dialogue in my head!" - Comment by Nevin R. on post My Reflection on My Kindness Project" (Jan 10, 2023)
"It's interesting how you chose not to forget about getting clothes from the Salvation Army and donating to help some kids. I'm certain that shows a solid sense of mature reflection, but moreover, the ability to act on that reflection. Cheers for that!" - Comment by Nevin R. on post Kindness Project" (Jan 10, 2023)

It's like a little hidden message over top of the stuff everyone else can see." - Comment by Nevin R. on post Independence" (Dec 13, 2022)
