Ms. Lotta Garfinkle was beloved in our small town of Couch, Missouri. A small town like ares wasn't much for education. Sure we went to the school house but it was basically just a under paid babysitting job. That is until, Ms. Lotta came to town. She walked into town, a smile plastered on her face and a hope for change to make a difference. Even if it was just a small one. Ms. Lotta was beautiful, loud, and didn't reserve her feelings. She was unlike any woman we had seen before.

She took over the teaching in the school house shortly after she came. It only took a weekend to fix it up. She used the help of the big stupid boys who would work for a pretty girls kiss. Even if it was just on the cheek.

No one knew what to expect on the following Monday. The first day of school with Ms. Lotta was amazing. Ms. Lotta spent the whole entire day just getting to know us. No work or anything. She even got Spencer Williams to stand still. And no one got Spencer Williams to do anything.

She taught us things that none of us ever thought we would learn. We made science models, we made art, we made an a amazing little family. We loved Ms. Lotta, we had always felt something was missing and it was her. Ms. Lotta believed in us, like no body had before. We were important and we new it, all because of her.

So thank you Ms. Lotta. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for believing in me.
