I am
Shocked.
Seeing how amazing she is,
Seeing how she can truly
Change my life.
She is a very inspiring person.
kwa inaonyesha me how perseverance
Can take wewe so far,
And how determination and tolerance
Are the keys to success.
wewe may laugh all wewe want at me,
As others do.
But nothing will shake my feeling
Of this particular friend.
Now,
Up to this point,
wewe have been lied to.
Well, partly.
Your brain has been mistaken.
The "inspiring person" I am referring to
Is not a girlfriend of mine
And it never will be,
Because I am a girl, wewe see.
This person
I call an influential person
Is my teacher.
Shocked yet?
Well,
All this year
I have been afraid of her.
Cowering in the shadows.
I did not enjoy that feeling,
Believe me.
That feeling of cowardice
Has been slowly receding
As the mwaka went by,
Like the waves of the blue ocean.
Now I see her as
A true friend and mentor,
As she has been everything
I am in this life.
My teacher has changed my life.
Completely, entirely.
I feel like I cannot ever repay her
For what she has done for me.
The effect is ever-lasting.
All I can say for now,
Is thank you.
Thank wewe for all wewe have done for me.
Your effect on me
Will never be erased.
wewe will always be like a hand print
On my heart.
Truly.

Monday
I don't want to talk about the funeral. I don't want to talk about how I cried all weekend au how Velvet, my only friend at home, went with my aunt to Malibu for the weekend. No, I won't talk about any of this. Instead I will say that Kyle invited mr to this awesome party Wednesday night. Yes, I know it is a school night but in less than 6 days school will be over for me. I can't wait. No zaidi preps au annoying L. J's. Kyle, however, I will miss. Maybe I could invite him to the sinema au something.
