I am deeply saddened by the news that my favorite teacher has passed. Mr. short was my fifth grade teacher, I met him at one of the most difficult points in my childhood. I was just diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD, and my family was going through a divorce. He understood me and he took me in. He took extra time and effort to make sure I left his classroom in june at not just a 6th grade level but at a 7th/8th grade level. Mr.Short taught me math by having me help him count the chnage he recieved from Pasta for Pennies, He spent extra time teaching me how to make spelling and sounding out words easier. He Was the first teacher who didnt treat me like I was dumb. He saw potential in me, he pushed me as a student as well as a person. Ill never forget when i spelled the word “classification” in our “buzz-off” spelling game; he jumped up off the desk, put his arm around my shoulder and announced to the whole class, that i “walked into his class room at a 3rd/4th grade level and now im leaving him at a 7th grade level and began to speak about how proud he was of me”. Those words stuck with me for my entire learning career. He made honor roll, academic achievement awards, and deans list in college possible for me. I owe a lot to this man and will never forget how absolutely amazing he was during that time in my life. I regret never vocalizing just how much that school year meant to meand how it changed me as a student. My family and I give our deepest condolences to his family, I wish nothing but absolute peace and content for Mr. Short, I will carry his lessons with me forever.
