Out of Normal: Womens history month. Part II.

Womens history month. Part II.

With March being womens history month, I had originally chosen to write all month long about my history with women. After waking up from the delusion that it was a good idea, I instead chose to write about women who have had a significant impact on my life. There are obvious women that I could have chosen from, but have decided to touch only on very significant ones. Today, I am going to write about Lisa Thomas, at least it WAS Thomas when she was my teacher and Newspaper editor in high school.

Ill never forget on the first day of class, "Mrs. T" as we called her, came up to me and handed me a note to give to my mother. I was petrified. Before giving the note to my mom, I opened it, and it said "The circle is complete." I figured that it was safe enough. I handed it to my mom after getting home, and she then explained that she had been Lisa's teacher. Mrs T. was not only the cutest teacher at Bloomington High School, she was also one of the few teachers that taught us to expand our minds, and think outside of the box. NO, she did not hand out reefer between classes, she taught us how to think.

One year later, Mrs T. taught my creative writing class, and that is where I learned to transfer what was in my mind through my fingers. Not only did I learn how to transfer it to paper, but also through my hands when I give someone a backrub, or through my fingers when I play the bass. Of course I didn't learn those things in that class, but it was at that time that I learned how to express my feelings.

I worked closely with Mrs. T. through all 4 years while on the school newspaper staff as the photo editor, so she was a major source of inspiration, and really taught us to follow our hearts and dreams in life.

Im not sure where you are today Lisa, but thank you.

i just rolled over and told her of your thoughts... of course, since she's classy, she said thanks, but then said "Who's Broch?"
