Coming to the end...

So who knows, maybe I'll keep up with this blog occasionally. For school purposes, it is the end. I want to dedicate this last blog to someone who has touched many people's lives and is no longer with us anymore. Brian Flagstad was a teacher at Hinckley-Finlayson High School, a place I used to go to during middle school. I had him as a math teacher and I have never met such an amazing guy. Not only was he great at teaching and what he did but he had a way of relating to us kids. He made everyone feel welcomed. He gave every kid hope and the feeling of success. Many of the kids at that school came from a rough background and their life at home was not one to be spoken about. When they came to class and talk to Mr. Flagstad, the feeling of acceptance and being loved came and compensated for the love they lacked elsewhere. It is hard to see a guy like this gone. He was only 47 and he died of heart complications. I have never seen a community so devastated over one person. He truly touched the lives of many. I know many are struggling over this loss and my prayers and thoughts go out to them. He truly was an amazing man and will be missed by all. This loss in many lives have made me realized how short and valuable your life is. I really look up to how Mr. Flagstad lived his life. I stumbled upon this quote last night and the beginning and the end reminded me of him. "Love all. Trust few. Do wrong to no one." - Shakespeare. He taught everyone something they can take with them for the rest of their lives. He will be forever missed.
