At the end of the school year in 1997, Mrs. Toensing, wrote a note on the student's report card: "It has been a joy to have you in class. Keep up the good work! Invite me to your Harvard graduation!."
This week, the student, Christin Gilmer graduated from Harvard as a doctor of public health.
Mrs. Toensing wrote a note on this 12-year-old's report card back in 1997.
Gilmer who is now 33, was only 12 at the time, but she kept the message all these years.
"It meant a lot to me to know that outside my mom, someone who knew me so intimately believed in my dreams and my ability to accomplish them," Gilmer said.
