“I have a unique vantage point of being not just a teacher in the school district but also the parent of a senior. At the end, when Rachel asks everyone in the auditorium to close their eyes and picture their dream, I cheated and watched my son. He has big dreams, seemingly unrealistic dreams, but he has the drive to make them possible. His eyes closed, and I know what he was envisioning. I know that Rachel's words reached him and gave him proof that even "crazy" dreams can be attainable.”
