it's a sad sad day
today i woke up feeling great. and it was 7 days since i saw the ring that night at daysi's. then, when i got to school i sat at the desk in the middle of the hallway by the cafeteria. there was a circle (ring) of coffee. i was freaking out. so i left and then had a cool time in the morning with nick writing on people's lockers with dry erase markers. it's emmanuel's birthday and we decorated his locker with a single sheet of paper containing signatures from the crew. i asked him to show my his pinky. he did :D. that was the end of the good morning.
so in first period there was an anouncement on the loudspeaker. one of my most favorite teachers, Mr. Cress, passed away the night before. i was in shock. i was all sullen and moody throughout the day...and then i went to 4th period (lunch) and i saw juliann and i started bursting into tears. i can't believe it. he's gone, and i'll never see him again. i wrote him a poem that i'll later post when i have more time, but it's just something for him. a tribute to everything he's ever done for anyone. this man was the best teacher i've ever had. he made learning fun and even his corny jokes would make you laugh, especially when he had to repaet them 2x bc we didn't get them. he was just wonderful. he adored his family and was proud of every one of them. his son is graduating valedictiorian of his class and is going to a excellent college to be a doctor. his daughter is a teacher of autistic children. his wife was the love of his life. he was a completely happy man and seemed fine yesterday. nothing was wrong. we were going on with class as usual. ofcourse not expecting the worse. 5th period was empty. lexy, shif, and mark possibly went home. no one could bear his walls. once filled with his posters of what he wanted the world to be, his idols (martin luther king jr, abraham lincoln). he loved us all, and we all thought of him more like a cool uncle that'll allways be there for you if the worst happened. it's such a same he passed away at 49. he'll never be forgotten and i'll never forget him. he was the most inspirational teacher and his death will go as a lesson to me; live life to the fullest, pull a Mr. Cress. <3333
we miss you Mr. Cress. and we love you.
