I found a letter
I am a hoarder. I have a difficult time getting rid of anything that has sentimental value, and almost everything I own has sentimental value. Either someone I love made it for me or gave it to me.
My parents were hoarders too so I still have the congratulatory cards my parents received when I was BORN! I have boxes of stuff I am trying to weed through, because who will ever want two generation old birthday cards?
One of the items I found while I was trying to purge, was a letter written in 1978 while I was student teaching. I asked my fifth grade students to write letters of recommendation I could add to my resume. Mary Seim wrote this:
Dear Sir:
I say that Mary McDonald would be a good teacher because she understands the kids whene they have problems. She encourages them to work more but she is gentle whene she is doing it. And thats why I think she would be a good teacher.
Sincerely,
Mary Seim
And then she drew my picture.
Thank you Mary Seim. You, and hundreds of other kids have helped me learn how to be a good teacher.
