"Dear Nicola ​

I honestly don't even know where to begin because I don't think I could ever thank you enough for everything you've done for me.  You've been like a second mum me in England.  Being there for me, supporting me, encouraging me and believing in me, especially when I needed it most.

​

Thank you for helping me become not only a better person but also a stronger person.  You always pick up on my flaws and never let me settle for "good enough".  You keep pushing me until I finally get it.  Your expectations are high, but that's one of the things I admire most about you because you always bring out the best in me.

​

Thank you so much for always pushing me, even when it was hard, because I know you only ever wanted me to reach my full potential.  You always see something in me that I don't always see in myself, and that means so much to me!

​

Thank you so much for being such a kind, caring and genuine person.  You are so inspiring to me.  Every correction, every class, every bit of encouragement has helped she me into the dancer and person I'm becoming.

​

Love you so much".
