In case nobody has noticed, this world is not always fair.
Right before her 84th birthday, a woman finds out that she has lung cancer and maybe a month.
30 year old kids die and their mothers find their bodies.
58 year old teachers loved by all die.
Mr. Ameling at Kahler died today. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
I've found myself saying that since I found out.
He was my gym teacher in 7th grade, and health teacher last year. He was an amazing teacher. He was so dedicated to his students.
He loved them, and always pushed them to do their best. He knew who his wise and smart students were, and he let them know it.
It's a freaking shame that he had to go. It really really really was.
The sad part of it all was that if this had been any other teacher that this happened to, he would've been the one that would be there to console his students. That's just the way he was.
It's kind of creepy because in Biology today...as all of the stuff was going down most likely...my friends and I were just happily talking about his class. And on the way home on the bus, one of my friends was upset about something totally different, but I'm just not the best at making people feel better. Then all this weird stuff happens...
The world is just cruel.....
and weird things have been happening....
And I'm not happy with the world.
Mr. Ameling probably would frown upon what I just said, but it's the truth
However, the Beatles have been helping me. "Let It Be" has been on repeat for a good 20 minutes now.
But who knows? Maybe this was his sick way of expressing what he told our class early in the quarter: "Carpe Diem"- Seize the Day. Maybe we're supposed to learn from this. Maybe we're not supposed to, but we will.
Mr. Ameling, you will be greatly missed :(
Loving life,
-bowler :)
