I'm still trying to process this a bit.
On Monday, my art teacher from high school passed away from cancer. When I found out yesterday I didn't really believe it. When I read the obituary today....it still didn't seem possible.
It wasn't like I was a regular in the art room in high school, but something I will ALWAYS remember is taking an art class the final semester of my senior year of high school. I had no confidence in my abilities, but my teacher believed in me. She always gave good criticism. She always showed that she cared.
It is hard to truly understand sometimes the impact people will have on you in life, until after the fact. While I realized that there were some creative bones in my body after that semester...I did not realize until today the true impact my teacher had on me.
I've continued to read a lot of the comments people have left in memory.....and love and devotion people felt from my teacher and I realized that her caring and kindness did so many things for so many people.
I realize how important it is to give love and show love to people. Encourage people. Inspire.
I still can't believe shes gone though.
I've been doing a lot of processing this week. Its been challenging, but worth it.
I can't wait for summer. I can't wait for the museum and hopefully a good paying job.
