stay strong.

I had a teacher who I really connected to. I'm in ELL and he did everything possible to help me. I f not his help, support and encouragement, I would have failed that class. And he moved away yesterday. He moved to another state. I was feeling so terrible about it that I was close to tears. And he said a lot of comforting things to me like you'll do alright, and stay the way you are and that he really enjoyed me in his class. And I really, really wanted to tell him how much I'll miss him and how much he meant to me. But I didn't want to start crying in front of him and the whole class.. I never said goodbye and now I regret it for not doing whatever it took to let him know.

I love you my love. No more messing around. I have to get things in order to see you in heaven again. Everyone!

I need one ticket to heaven, ASAP!

Love is calling, and I need your help getting to her.

Daniel T. Schmitt, my science teacher, I need you around. When you are with me, it feels like being allies with a powerful country, like United States... You matter. To me. I'm the only one in your class that needs so much assistance. Really, I'm sorry, and I'm ready to leave this class if I'm bothering you.

Choose empowerment over defeat.

I'm terrified. I'm in middle school. Today we were taking the most important exam of the year and I ran out of time. Since I'm an English Language Learner, they hopefully let me have as much time as I needed. But I wasn't done even by the end of the day. They called my mom and she said she'll be there in 20 minutes. She's really impatient so I decided not mo make her wait. I rushed through the rest of the questions, (which was majority of my exam) and didn't even read them. When I came home, I realized WHAT HAD I DONE? but it was already too late.

Hey Love, I'm going to watch Interstellar, and all of your favorite movies like LOTR this week. I know you won't be there to watch them with me, but I know by doing so. It'll be like hanging out all over again.

How can you expect someone who is happy to understand someone who is sad? How can you expect someone to understand what it's like to have stretch marks and scars -- and the pain in your heart? How can you expect someone to have empathy towards how you've felt while looking at yourself in front of the mirror? Or when you can't trust anyone; yourself or your mother? When you work in groups and you're all alone, does the peers around you acknowledge what's happened or just ignore? When the lights are turned off and you go to bed, how can you expect someone to understand what you've been through in just a day in your life as the living dead?

I regret not telling you how I felt when I left 4 years ago, Garth. I miss you all the time. To anyone reading this, your moment is now. Have no fear and do it, because I know you can. Be stronger than I was, don't regret things like I do. You're strong.
