A Fistful of Sunshine


I'm an English teacher with music in my soul, comics in my blood, festivals in my head, and social justice on my mind. I believe that education and civil disobedience have the power to change the world.

So, look out.

bloodofaprophet: Okay so here we go! Mr. M, being in your class actually got me thinking. The day when you said that the whole point of the death related lessons was for us to realize how important and valuable our lives are, it changed how I viewed things. I stopped taking everyone’s bullshit, I moved on from things in the past that held me back, I realized that if you wait around forever for other people, you’ll never enjoy your life. Honestly being in your class meant something to me. I and every other one of your students, learned something helpful everyday. All the music that you made us listen to and find the meaning behind, became the new stuff to flood my IPod. All the songs are so inspirational and carefree and exciting and happy. I was always upset and depressed, dreading everyday, but I came to realize that I didn’t wanna be like that anymore. After I found out that I had a vitamin D deficiency, I’m taking medicine and everyday I listen to those songs and think about all those lessons and it makes me super happy. I can’t wait for the summer, I’m so excited.  Kalee & I had so much fun being in your class, thank you for being our favorite teacher! mini promo XD her: http://takingeachday.tumblr.com/ And that’s the sound of sunshine coming down!
