LETTERS to MOTIVOS

I felt incredibly happy and motivated after attending Jenée’s session [at the US Soccer Foundation’s Urban Soccer Symposium] and would love to explore synergies!

I am SO thrilled about this [her story making the cover of Motivos Self-Discovery edition]! I am absolutely honored and so happy to see how far this has come from being a silly little draft in my documents! Thank you so much for this opportunity, and I hope to submit another piece someday! You have no idea how much this whole experience has meant to me. I’m so beyond grateful!

~ Abigail Flower-Pollard, author of Motivos Self-Discovery edition’s cover story, Vol. 16 No. 1, Medina, NY

The most recent issue of Motivos is amazing! Bravo to you and your kids! I shared it with our ESL educator who is a member of our Girl Rising cohort, and we were so impressed! Thank you for committing to this work; I hope we can collaborate on something again soon.

~ Ellin Glassband, Girl Rising US Educator Cohort Program Leader and Language Arts Teacher, West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District, West Windsor Township, NJ

Thank you so much for inviting me to attend and participate in the Motivos event Saturday. It was so special to see you [Jenée] in action and get a much better feel for what you do and how it affects youth. Congratulations.
