Dear Coach Johns,
I wanted to take a minute this morning to thank you for speaking to Saratoga Wilton Soccer Club last evening. Your talk resonated with me in so many ways. As a parent of a teenage child with Asperger’s Syndrome, the work that you are doing is so crucial. I don’t know if you could tell, but I had tears in my eyes when you were speaking about the Visible and the not Visible. So many times people have said the words “you would never know” when talking about my son. That’s the point, we never know what our kids are facing everyday, and sometimes its good to see through their glasses or walk in their shoes. It also reminded me of my time student teaching in an inner city school. It breaks your heart to know what your students face when they leave your classroom.
I spoke to my son after hearing your talk because I wanted to see who would be on his “bus”. It was nice to hear that the first one he chose was me. As a parent, specially during the teen years, it can be tough to navigate and it was nice to know he still wants me on the bus with him. Could you please let me know where I can obtain a copy of the Energy Bus for Kids. I would like to share it with my boys, but also our cub scout pack. My husband and I lead the local cub scout pack and would love to share the message with them. It fits perfectly with our oath to do our best and to help others at all times. Please keep spreading your message. I hope you have an opportunity to come back and speak to my son’s soccer team.
Sincerely Grateful
Jacqueline Miller
