I am compelled to share the most brilliant & touching ones.
For our Science teacher from Hong Kong, who has a delightful, friendly delivery ~
Mr. Liu I love
Because he is great, ok?
Yes indeed, stay tuned.
For one of our English teachers who resembles a cross between Eddie Vedder & Jesus ~
Harvey with your hair
Like locks of golden awesome
Makes me feel alright
To "whoever" ~
Hayes is where it's at
Tom & H run this place, yo
This school is legit.
To our principal ~
H- is a Badass
She runs this awesome school, yo
She lays down the law.
and
I call you my mom
Because you look out for me
Thank you again, H-.
To our security guy ~
Tom is a Badass
I think I can still take him
We should throw some blows
For me ~
STOP staring at ME
I won't take my iPod out
So don't stare at me.
and
Sweetly humorous
radically chill, always
Smart, educated
I'm a little jealous that I wasn't called a "Badass" but the last one was written by a relatively new student who I haven't been sure I'd connected with yet; that feels pretty good. And the iPod kid, he does take it out when I stare at him.
I hope at least some of your declarations of love are this potent.
