Carson City, CA
Jasmine dances the waltz with such grace that it aches my heart to watch her in

And now, Jasmine is bound for college. She told
her grandma that she will also be an elementary schoolteacher like her. Knowing
her ability, I know she will turn out to be a good one and her students will
have been lucky to have her.
