And You...

G.

(Mrs.) G,

        It's great how hard you can crack down on those who are misbehaving but also be gentle, patient and teach well.

When one was being very unruly you threatened to call his wittle mommy and I knew you were quite serious for you had his wittle mommy on speed dial and your finger was literally an inch away from pressing the button.

I will say I was disappointed and distraught when I lost something to the person I thought would never win but somehow I kept a straight face, you congratulated me for doing so and that made me feel much better.

You also taught everyone a school subject, and you taught well.

You taught me more than a school subject, though.  

You taught me good sportsmanship, perseverence, and logic, something that had always been attempted to be taught to me but always passed through my skull and into the numb air.

You also taught me how to be fair to life, though life wasn't exactly fair to you with your peculiar but adorable first name and everything else that occured you haven't told about.

Thank you.

I don't think I could ever repay you for what you've done and how you've aided me more than you should've.

And when I sing "For Good" (a song from the musical Wicked), I think of you and I love that song because it reminds me of you.

And "I do believe I have been changed for the better".

And "For Good".

All by you.

Sincerely,

Lauren
