Dear Mr Martin,

Let’s go back to the 6th grade. I joined the school band. Everyone in the band wanted the first chair, but only one kid would get it, and everyone knew it would go to Danny Chen because he was the best in the band.

Of course, I didn't get the first chair. In fact, I was almost in the last chair. Danny Chen, of course, was first. But I remember going to our band lessons, and you would keep telling me that I would be in the first chair one day. So I tried harder because I wanted to draw your attention. As time passed that year, I started to move up the ranks — I was in the 5th chair out of 14 by the end of November.

Of course, I wanted first, but I wasn’t ready for that. Slowly, you moved me up to the third chair, between Ari Simms and Tom Haggard, who was in the 2nd chair. Tom kept talking to Danny in the middle of class, and to stop that, you put me in between the two of them. That made me in the 2nd chair. That’s been the closest I’ve gotten to the first chair. And I want to thank you for that.

Of course, I want to thank you for a lot more than just giving me the 2nd chair. You helped me through my parents' divorce (离婚). You made me believe that I was good enough to do Rock’n Soul, which I loved. You made me laugh and smile when my cousin was in the hospital. And you let me sing during School of Rock rehearsals (排练). The most important thing was that you told me, “You’re different.” You explained, “You’re different because you’re just trying to be yourself. Every other girl dresses the same, talks the same and walks the same, but you’re not like that. You've been yourself since I met you. You’re happy with that. That's really important.”

I know you’re retiring this year. I want to let you know that I will miss you.

Yours,

Meaghan
