He inspired me to become more environmentally active, to not feel discouraged by the horrible things that are happening. He helped me understand that we can take a stand, and slowly restore our Earth to a semblence of what it used to be. He was such a great teacher, and a great man. It still feels so strange talking about him like that. <BR/><BR/>As a student, we take for granted our teachers. We think of them as solid rocks that will never leave us. It was a chilling experience. <BR/><BR/>One thing that helped me feel a little better was something that my Nonna (Italian grandma) told me. She said that because of his death, because that was such a poignant moment in my life that I will never forget, all that Mr. Johnson taught me will stay with me as long as I live. That sense of inspiration doubled, and trippled. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't able to go to the memorial service on thursday because of my trip, but my mom went for me. I'm definitely going to write Kirra a story about all the memories I was able to have with him.LJKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02527025505820969620noreply@blogger.com
