Spaghetti-Day!

Spaghetti-Day!

Friday, January 21


Dear Teacher,
I wanted to thank you for your help today, but I also wanted to apologize as well.
I mean I doubt that's how you really want to end your days.
But as for what you said about your wife and her dealing with things like this, I give you complete permission to tell her anything we talked about.
I just know I need some help, and I'm not like embarrassed of anything or anything like that so I'm pretty much open to talk to anyone that can give me answers.
I didn't want to put a huge load on anybody or anything like that, just had to get it out there you know.
Teachers are good people, what you guys do is beyond extraordinary.
Usually it takes kids awhile to realize that, but at some point everyone can see the impact you have on us.

I just want you to know that I look up to you as a teacher and as a person.
It's nice to know that people can devote their lives to something that they feel strongly.
I mean getting diagnosed with diabetes as a child has to be rough, and knowing that you can overcome that and take up in interest in physical education and anatomy is amazing.
It's amazing to know people can experience something so terrible, but use it to teach and inform people is just amazing.
That's what makes me feel better, knowing that there are people like you in this world and that I might be able to use my problems for the greater good someday.
And, I thank you for that as well. Hope.
You didn't let your disability get to you, it made you strong, and I hope that I can do the same.
I know I have potential and my future is bright, I just need to get over this patch.
Not trying to tell a sob story, but I didn't have many positive role models in my life, mostly give-uppers.
So it's nice to know I can go to school and be around people I see as being positive people.

Anyways, I'm rambling.
I just wanted to make sure you knew how important your role is as a teacher, and that you really helped me feel better today.
You're a great role model, and I hope that someday someone will look at me the same way.
Thank you.
