My best lessonA Poem by mickyThe one lesson that I learned in school... that really made a difference That made an impact on me Was in grade 7 I had this teacher that everyone hated He gave technology and Afrikaans to the grade sevens But he is the type of person with all sorts of corny saying And one day he asked my class... "What is love?" When I stuck my hand up and he asked me I said "Love is something that you will give everything up for, something you'll die for" Then he said " Are you saying you'll die for you're gold fish,since you love it?" I'll admit I felt like I was stupid for saying that But the next week he asked the same thing I didn't even bother to put up my hand But he asked me anyway So I took a moment to think And slowly I realized the point of this question It wasn't about the answer, it was about why he asked it Love has no real definition,because there are to many kinds of 'love' After class I told him I understood the point of the question He asked me what it was and I said "In life there are so many things, so many situations ,so many decisions.. that when we get to them we feel obligated to decide or cease the moment. We never take the time to think about anything, we never focus on the thing that make us whom we are." I will never forget that lesson... And I will never forget the day he became my best friend Thank you Mr. Ferriora
