It must be so hard to know that there is so much to teach each student, if we would put a value on our lives first. I do value take to heart the things that you have been teaching me and you are so willing to keep on teaching me. You are instilling a confidence in me that I never knew I had. And you are making me look deep into myself and awaken the yearning of knowledge in this sport. You will never know how much I have learned in the different classes/ Wed evening shoots. I hope that you know that you have made a big difference in the way I have been able to look & act in different situations and know that if something happens I will be able to put up the fight of my life and or fight the for the safety of my small little family. I look forward to the continued Firearm and Personal Safety education that you offer to me. Thank you, Patsy Back to top |
