These past two semesters in your class have made my college experience better. The fact that you've opened up so many doors for me have allowed me to be comfortable around you and the entire class. I feel that i've become a better writer and a well rounded individual. You have introduced artists, writers, videos, and organizations to us that increase our knowledge. I'm still in love with Banksy. You are so open with everyone and i think all of your students became in love with the wonderful, down to earth person oyu are. Things without your class will be different because i was so used to going to your class and learning something new about the world or how to make a change in the world. Most classes and professors don't offer that. I felt that these two english classes weren't only writing and reading classes but networking and learning random things classes. Many people say that most professors in college don't really care to know who you are and you broke that. You cared to get to know each and everyone of us and i don't know you created this atmosphere that was the shit. When you came with my group to the Hope 4 Homeless giveaway thing it showed you belive in what we were doing and only strengthened our passion for it. Your children are super cute and i hope chris (right?) becomes the rock star he wants. If he has any band problems i'll be his bas player. lol. By the way, Danny was thrilled to ask for the cigarettes when you asked us to buy them. He jumped out at that opportunity. I really am going to miss you but hopefully you teach a humanities..FOR REAL THOUGH. you know i'll support you in all your stuff and i'll bring along a whole lot of people too. Thanks for everything. You've truly done a lot. I can't name everything but i hope you know i appreciate what you've done. I prepared to go play devil's advocate with the world.


sigh...its been great
you farewell almost brought a tear in my eye
and dang you have a great memory to remember all those things


you friend,

Awarness

It iscompletely astonishing to see how powerful awarness is. In all three,more the first two links from Myspace impact have over 4000 members. People who are willing to help the cause and people who will donate or just dedicate their time to help. Even bands have dedicate time and sponsered these causes. Their music goes along with targeting the audiences pathos. Both the twloha and rainn made me want to continue learning. It's probably because the videos targeted my emotions and i relate to it and also because TWLOHA and RAINN are situations that i've dealt with before with certain friends. I would'e likedit better if KIVA had videos to explain what they do exactlybut all in all these myspace sites are a great way to get people on your side. I truly appreciate what these people are doing to change something in their lives and in others lifes as well.
I've had certain individuals say that students in FIU don't care about learning; but the truth is they care. On our day of selling pizza theres were numerous students whoaskedwhat the cause was and how they could help. This goes to show you that there are thousands, as proven by these causes, of people who are willing to help what you believe in.
