Our students who take Art class always do a carving project where they carve a picture in a block of wood and then get a chance to paint it and gloss it over. They spend weeks on this project. This year, two students decided that they wanted to GIVE me their projects. I asked if they didn’t want to take them home and keep them or give them to their parents, but no, they wanted ME to have them. The first one was from none other than DF. He is obsessed with Abercrombie, so he did the Abercrombie moose. The coolest part of it was that he had our entire 3rd block sign the back of it…on his own! Then, a girl in my first block DW, decided she wanted to give me hers. When she handed it to me, she said, “since I thought about you when I made it, I wanted you to have it.” Considering that it’s a half-naked white guy with a six-pack and in a Hollister bathing suit, I’m not sure how to feel about this. HAHA! However, this particular student has already declared herself a lesbian, so I wasn’t too freaked out.
Needless to say, I was very touched by their generousity and thoughtfulness. These types of mementos are the ones that I will keep forever.
