Three weeks ago, a former student reached out to me on instagram.
She asked if I had dvds of the musicals we did. She said she wasn’t the star, and she remembered we had dvds made…but loved it and she would love to see the DVD.
I shared that during my last year, many of them were uploaded to YouTube and I told her how to see them.
She watched…here was her response.
Why we teach…
Here it goes…her response.
Yes I cannot believe the effort you put in to those looking back. I can’t thank you enough for those years, it really got me into musicals and singing and none of it would have happened without you. My grandma actually got my entire family tickets to see Hamilton when it came to the fox, just because she remembered how much we loved the songs in middle school. Thank you endlessly, you are so amazing 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
My reaction…you are amazing too…because you felt, at a very young age…what really mattered and what was real whether your friends thought so or not.
You showed up at 7:30 am when there was no grade.
You did it because it mattered to you. And you helped your parent and friends show up.
You’re a leader. Can’t wait to see what you do.
