Tragic to Me.

Mr. Dixon unexpectedly retired today. I'm not going to lie, I actually teared up when I found this out. I've had multiple teachers retire and none of them has come this close. He is my all time favorite teacher. I love him, that class, and everything. He was a great teacher. I'd never been so excited to get to a double period of English. He even would heat up his own soup for me to eat when my braces got tightened.....(oh 7th grade). Possibly my favorite thing about him is that, multiple times in high school we've wasted a whole class period, as students, reminiscing on Mr. Dixon's class. We even have multiple fan clubs for him and out of the things I kept from middle school, 75% of it is from his class. I really am sad but I'm glad that he's finally going to publish and write with his friend from Australia. I can't wait to read his book. I love how as we students have written him e-mails, he responds and remembers everything. I'm proud of being his student. Maybe, one day he'll see this. I respect this man very much. He's the reason why I found love in books. I loved his class.
