Yes! I knew that you could see through the persona I applied to myself. I was just too scared to be myself. That's why when you encouraged my writing I began to find myself. I gained understanding from reflecting on my experiences. A majority of poems and songs I wrote in high school were written in your class. You played a major part in my rebirth into my true consciousness. You are the best teacher I have ever had, you taught me to look to myself for the answers I so desperately needed. Thank you! Love ya!
