Letter: Mother knows best

Editor, Daily News:

As one of the hundreds of graduating seniors from our Collier County Public Schools this year, I have much love and respect for the families, teachers and community members who have made possible this special high school experience.

However, along with families and teachers, let us not forget to thank the guidance counselors who have helped guide us through high school and into the college or career of our choice.

Each of us at Naples High School can thank at least one these special people: Steve Weigle, Bernardo Torres, Evan Flamer, Robert Bradford and Lauren Bailey. Our guidance counselors spend a tremendous amount of time helping students balance their schedules, answering questions about classes and post-secondary schools, and writing many letters of recommendations for college.

Lauren Bailey is my mother. I want to offer her special thanks for guiding me through every day for over 18 years!

To my fellow classmates, don't forget to thank your parents, family members, teachers, administrators and guidance counselors for guiding you through such a memorable high school experience.
