Former ELS Employee: I congratulate you on completing your MBA!! What a wonderful accomplishment. I also admire that you did not stop, but pressed on and saw it through to completion, even in the midst of challenging circumstances. Your resilience will serve you as well or more so, than the degree. When you put the two together, I am very excited about your future. I wish you all the best!

I have been missing you a lot. Many time I cry. It's been week I have not sleep good. Every morning when I pray you and your baby is in my pray.
XXXXXX is very happy for sure. I did want to call you I didn't have your personal number.
JXXX and I were talk about you lot. We had lot of work contact with you now they just throw us our own. I hope things will go well with you.
Just think positive. God may have give you better chance to be close to your family. You can spend time with your baby worried free. Let me know when your baby comes if you allow me I will come see your baby. Also I will come on your graduation.
Remember, I always have respect for you.
