Letter to Nelson.

Dear Mr nelson.

      I am writing this letter to you for a few reasons. One because I want my blog to be cool and make it into the top five and this is one of the steps for doing that. Two because I feel like I need to say thank you. And three because well I need a second blogpost and Im running out of ideas.

Well Dear Mr Nelson I just wanted to take the time to say Thank you! You have been such a great influence on me, In tenth grade english your class was all that I looked forward to and I think had I not been in your class I may just not have made it this far. You have helped me to appreciate writing and poetry in a whole new way! You were there and helped me when my friend attempted to commit suicide. That was really hard for me and you were there and whether you knew it or not you did help me through it. I just needed to say this to you and let you know that you were and are an amazing teacher and an awesome influence on all of your students! You have so much power that you don't even realize that you hold. You have a tremendous effect on all of your students lives and if it weren't for you I don't know where I would be right now. (definitely not writing on a blog) Well thats all Ive got to say for now. Thank you Mr Nelson! You are awesome!

I Remember

I remember...

I remember when life was easy. I remember when we me and my best friend spent every waking moment together. I remember those warm summer days making the backyard into a water park and running around in the water until we were about to pass out. I remember the big mechanics screwdriver my aunt gave me when I was 3 (I didn't like fake tools I wanted the real ones) I remember how my parents hid it from me because I would chase people around the house with it. I remember when nap time was almost a punishment. I remember when my parents said they were getting a divorce. (I didn't even know what that word meant) I remember how my older sister reacted. I remember how confused I was... I didn't know what was going on. I remember when I would fake sick so I didn't have to go to school. (now I just skip and go get food or something) I remember when my mom bought a new house. I remember how there was teddybear wallpaper in my room and I refused to sleep in it until it was taken down. I remember when my dad started dating again. I remember this one girl he took on a date wouldn't let me sit on the counter to look at the ice-cream. (I always sat on the counter to look at the ice-cream choices. So I didn't like her) I remember how I would always choose the lime green ice-cream. I remember how when I would get ice-cream and I would only use the little sample spoons not the big ones they give you. (I still do that) I remember when I only had one teacher all day and we would write the whole days schedule on the whiteboard. I remember how weird it was to have more than one teacher. I remember when I got a 99% on a test in 9th grade. I remember how the teacher was mad that I didn't study ("because I could have gotten a 100%") I remember when I got to high school. It felt so big. I remember having english 10 with Mr Nelson. I remember thinking about how lucky I had gotten. ("he was the greatest english teacher ever") I remember faking my way through the whole journal writing prompts. I remember how half my page would be about how my hand was cramping up but I had to fill the page. I remember how much I hated trying to fill the page (even though I conformed and did it anyways) I remember how it feels like just yesterday we were starting 10th grade. Now we are graduating high school in just a few months... Weird...
