...which is my fifth grade yearbook.
Inside, is an inscription from my fifth grade teacher, one that I've never forgotten since the day it was written:
That says:
Dear Sarvenaz,Pretty neat, huh?
I expect to read a novel written by you one day. Keep up the good writing. Lots of best wishes.
Love,
Mrs. Childs
P.S. Today, in trivia you didn't ask for but are getting anyway: a very important character in The Mapmaker and the Ghost is named in honor of my elementary school.
How interesting. It's wierd how others can see the potential that we fail to see in ourselves. Best of luck with the novel.
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Is she still around so you can let her know you *are* a real novel writer now?
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I feel really old, since I had a kid the year you graduated 5th grade.
Lynne, she unfortunately doesn't teach at that school anymore so I haven't been able to track her down! Also, pssshaw. You're not old. And compared to your kid, I am!
