30 Letters in 30 Days...Day 28. someone that changed your life

Dear Lee,
You were the best teacher I ever had. You instilled in me a love of the theatre and the knowledge that I had certain skills, acting skills, that were actually good! You gave me confidence and understanding. You were tough on me when you needed to be and soft when I needed you to be.

Your enthusiasm for acting and the theatre was contagious and I was like a sponge...so eager to learn. I know that you gave me chances I wouldn't have gotten at other schools or with other professors. And, above all, you were a friend.

I don't act that much anymore. Not at all for the last few years, but, I use the techniques you taught me every single day in so many ways. Because what you taught me was an effective way to communicate with as many different and varied people as possible. Priceless lesson that! One that changed my life, gave me confidence and wings.

I will always be grateful to you for that!

With love,
Mary Beth
