Dedication

This has no relation to Italy or anything like that but I feel since a lot of people have been reading my blog as of late or just whenever I post on Facebook about me updating or whatever I just think this just needs to be said.
To one of the best people I know. She, even though may not know or realize it has touched the hearts of many doing what she has done. Sometimes in life we dont always know how we effect other people with just the way we smile or grin at one and other. Sometimes in life alone we dont realize the impact we can have on people by just letting them know that they can talk to you. My 2nd year in high school I met someone that till this day has been one of my heros, I never told this person though. At first this person didn't know I could even somewhat draw what so ever until half way through the year. I didn't want to take high school art but i was forced. I always am someone who stays away from teachers because I just wasn't that into what all teachers had to say, and especially at my school. It was sculpting time in Art class, drew up a few sketches and when I showed this person my sketches... This persons eyes were just i think more shocked than anything lol. I will never forget the day that i started to become closer to my hero when no one else seemed to be listening or even caring. A lot of things were happening during high school that none of my friends have ever heard about but this person always seemed to be able to tell when something wasnt quite right. Not only was this person my hero, or even JUST a person.. this person was my art teacher. Mrs. Ervin. There are many moments that i can thank her for but thanking her alone is an understatement for me. She might not really ever know what she did for me, and probably many others but with this i hope she sees that teaching wasn't her only doing at Western Hills High School, but really making a difference when it came to half the teachers that didnt really care or just didnt seem to have the time to care. Even though you were gone for maternity leave or didnt have the time at the moment, Mrs. Ervin you had time to care, ALWAYS. You will be an amazing mom, and your children are truly blessed. Teaching will always be there for you to go back to. Thank you again.
