TESTIMONIALS

"H. Rains has a heartfelt inner confidence that makes students want to learn, ask questions and enjoy the process of inquiring about what really matters in life. Leaders persevere through tough times and do not give up. H. Rains taught me to recognize my strengths, limitations, and to demonstrate /model effective leadership. She also taught me that people who have known pain are able to reach out with wisdom, leadership, respect and understanding. Experience, education and the power to reach out to others can make a positive difference in this world. H. Rains also taught me that everyone have been given special / important gifts to encourage others. Thank you, H. Rains for reaffirming that all people matter. Also, life is a valuable gift. Excellent. Job well done. Mission accomplished."
