Day 10 Someone Who You've Always Wanted to Talk To

Dear Someone I have always wanted to talk to,
     You were the first person to open my mind. You're class changed my thinking forever. Everything you said in that lecture hall made sense to me. For once in my life I thought I was actually being taught something. You were different from all the other professors in that your teaching was honest.
     When I first saw you walking into the lecture hall I thought you were weird. You had on a long skirt and walked with your mug in hand. You seemed too uptight, and I thought I was going to hate your class. Little did I know, I would be the first one in the lecture hall in the front row ready to take rigorous notes every single day that quarter.
     You were the one to put a seed into my politicization. Unfortunately, at that point in my life I was still too afraid to go to a professor's office hours. I regret not having gone to talk to you, because I am sure you would have enlightened me a lot more. You are one of the only women that I have seen talk about race and politics in such a passionate way. If I would have known that not many of these women existed (at least not around me) I would have made sure to keep you as a person of reference. To this day, I am thankful for your class and for your knowledge. I still hope to one day be able to talk to you and learn from you.
