soo.. i met this wonderful lady in second grade. she was sweet, kind, and most importantly patient. which was extremely important, you see i hated school. everything about it. i didn’t want to be there, i was miserable, and i felt…stupid.. kids bullied me and i was never comfortable. she taught me.. she was the best teacher i had ever had. she was the teacher you prayed your kids got. she never let kids pick on me, introduced me to my best friend tiffani who was my backbone for years to come, she never let me fall behind in class…she loved garfield and hated mondays…she has cancer.. i can’t even think straight right now..i want to go home and hug her and tell her that she is a wonderful person and i was so grateful to have met her at such a young age when kids, especially kids like me, need people who are kind and wonderful and patient.. i remember going into third grade devastated that she wasn’t going to be my teacher… it tears me apart that i can do nothing but sit here and hope and pray that she’s going to be okay… she’s an amazing person and teacher…please everyone keep her in your thoughts..
