My last post. Here we go, deep breaths, deep breaths…..ppppphhhhewww. So this is gonna be my all around experience and opinion on this class etc. I walked into this class, sat down, then was told we were gonna create a journal. Ready for an excruciating pain of doing pointless stories and writing things that didn’t mean anything to me. Then Nelson told us all that we have prompts but nothing has to be absolute and we should write in our own way. Nelson just told us to do what we wanted. Nelson you let us be creative. Actually creative. I can’t draw, I can’t dance, I’m not in any fine arts. But in this class my creativity strived. I enjoyed it so much and it opened up my mind and let me do what I wanted. I have had 2 favorite teachers of all time. Oddly enough they are both named Mr. Nelson. One was a mentor, a basketball coach, my personal motivational speaker, he taught me how to learn to grow. The other, gave me opportunities to be creative, let me breathe and dig deep, helped me be different, guided me through the most stressful and intense year of my life. So really what I’m trying to say is thank you Nelson. You killed it as a teacher and motivator. You are the reason this school has creative kids, you are the reason that kids these days aren’t bottling up emotions. You are breaking these teenagers out of there cages of social media, and social norms. You are digging up peoples realities and peoples real personalities. That they haven’t even met because they have to hide to fit in. You are helping peoples mental stability and emotional stability. Thank you Nelson, for giving me an environment where people are real again, where we all can talk about each others existences because we are in the same boat. We all go through things, I wish it was this easy to know without going through a class. Thanks Nelson, we will have to rap sometime together haha. I will see you all again, it might be wild and dangerous. A mystery to those who read it, just follow me…
