I have been sick as a dog the past four days; I didn't move much, only read a lot. I'm one day late posting this week's "Make a Difference" task. This week's card is: "You Made a Difference."
"Think of someone from your formative years who really made a difference to you. Was it a teacher you had in second grade who said you were a creative child, and thus validated your daydreaming for the next 20 years? Maybe it was the parent of a childhood friend who fed you dinner when you ran away from home and even talked you into giving your parents a second chance. Write a letter to one of your early proponents and express just how important he or she was to your with language you probably didn't have at that time."
Who should I choose? Who would you choose? Should it be Mrs. S who taught me how to properly conjugate Latin verbs? Should it be Mrs. B who encouraged me to chill out in college? How about Mrs. K who offered such gracious support and endowed a scholarship I had been given? What about the Mrs K who always, no matter the occassion, re-applied her red lipstick in class?
