“I am now in 6th grade, I am devastated.”
If you for some reason feel the need to have a great, purging Thanksgiving cry, I have just the thing for you. (Do not proceed if otherwise.) Perhaps you are an actress who has run out of motivation, or maybe you are just pent up? So this terrible news brief about a high school acquaintance of mine who was killed last week was apparently discovered by his current elementary school students. If you make it beyond “he was my teacher in 3rd and 4th grade. i saw him last tuesday.our main skill was sticks and tape to make skeleton stick figures. I do not draw them i build them” then you are made of far stronger stuff than I am.
42, Choire? Really? The only good thing about that age is that it’s Douglas Adams’ Answer to Life, The Universe, And Everything. Very bad for a blogger’s lifespan, however.
The jokes now aside: one of my late elementary school art teachers also died suddenly, in much more peaceful circumstances. She had lost patience with my skills (I am a designer now) and had not been nice to me the last time I saw her, but that did not mean I thought any less of her… and to hear her go was a shock. With this guy, who seemed to be much younger and better at his job… it’s incredibly and incalculably sad. My heart hurts for him, his survivors, and his former students. And I’m sorry for you too, Choire.
