This is a true story. The only thing that's fiction is her name.

I met her my first year of middle school. My first impression was, she's too young. The voice in my head was so confused, she's a teen, how could she teach me? Miss Matthews was my science teacher. To my surprise I enjoyed her class a lot. She taught me so much, I'll never forget, how she welcomed me into her big heart. The most valuable thing, this amazing lady taught me was,that love really is color blind. 11/06/19 Contest: Favorite Teacher Sponsor: Chantelle Ann Cooke

Your message is beautiful Alexis, and your poem very cute. As a young teenager did my first three years of high school in Zambia - I loved that I was and always have been colourblind. Hugs and blessings dear friend, Jennifer.
