The most powerful mentors rarely raise their voice. Quiet. Generous with time and truth. They ask one sharp question, hand you the right book, then sit in silence while you become who you were meant to be. One presence that quietly changes your entire life.

Thank you to @RobertSun24 for his friendship and support over many years. Sharing your personal story and believing that all students can and should be good at math inspired me and many students. You and your talented team have made a big difference.
