You are doing a wonderful job on these school lo's and memories. The journaling is truly "priceless." Love the color and paper layering on this one.
I hope that you show this to him. I love the smile on his face and can just tell he is a great man! Your bright colors are so vivid and make the layout very eye-catching.
what a good teacher he was. i bet he would be proud to know what an influence he was. thanks so much for sharing this meaningful lo. and it looks great too!
I'm sure he would be deeply touched to be remembered so long by a student! This is a great page, what a nice book of memories you are making for yourself. Love the colors here too.
Since I have been scrapping my grade school pics, I've been thinking a lot about my fav teacher- Mr Torres from the 7th grade. This week's challenge for the April Pages Challenge was to do a page about a special relationship. Since he was my fav teacher and made a big impact on me, I decided to do a page about him. Like a dork I started to cry when writing the letter (which is tucked inside the envie).
Journaling (Letter): April 10, 2006 Dear Mr. Oscar Torres, Of all the teachers I've had over the years, you are the one that I remember the most. You are probably the youngest, coolest teacher I've had. You made class fun and interesting but I learned a lot too. The greatest lesson you taught me was to care about others. Whenever you could tell somebody was having problems, you were there to help them. You encouraged us to volunteer in various school activities. I remember making a LOT of peanutbutter and jelly sandwhiches to be handed out to the homeless. No matter what, you treated us more like your equals and touched everybody's heart. When the school year came to an end I wrote you a thank you letter. You told me that that was the first time any student had done that. Although I don't remember what I wrote then, the memory of you being so touched by my little gesture is something I will remember and treasure forever. It was the least I could do for you after all you had done for me. Now, thirteen years later, I am writing you another letter. This one you may never see but I mean it with all my heart. I know that where ever you are, you are touching more people's hearts and minds. Even if you don't feel appreciated, please remember me- Tina, St. Hugh class of 1993. Sincerely,
