Autumn’s flame dances in my eyes

Dear Mr. Sheehy,

This year seems like it took only a matter of days! We have done so much in this class, its remarkable. I know our class is crazy, loud, often annoying, and a lot of us don’t accomplish much, but I really feel that we got something out of your class. You gave us something that not many teachers can, and I don’t know what it is exactly but I know we will all walk away changed. I know it doesn’t seem that I accomplished all that much in terms of work, but I learned more from your class than I ever have before in any other class. I learned not to judge people,

that some old fishermen still have it,

don’t jump to conclusions (especially about witchcraft),

you can do anything you want if your put your mind to it
(even if you want to climb mt. everest) ,

you won’t always go crazy if you live by yourself in a cabin for a while,

a good poem can take years to write (don’t give up),

and to never give your daughter up to a one-armed man who wants your car. =]

But in all seriousness, thank you. Thank you for putting up with all of our shenanigans, our bad days, our giggly movies, and our overall lack of hard work. Thank you for having faith in us, even after telling us to “shut up” for the millionth time. Thank you for everything you’ve done for this class, we couldn’t have done it without you (who else could put up with us?)

Sincerely,

Em Rawson.
