Dear Heather Ceresini,
You have changed my life in many ways, that still remain unknown. I would like to take this time to travel back, to a place known as Hans Herr. I signed up for a band with an open mind, to meet a smiling face, the face of Mrs. Ceresini. You welcomed me into your room with a jubilant attitude and showed me all of the different instruments I could learn, I picked percussion. I picked out a Remo drumhead, and you started to teach me. One, by one, I learned rudiment after rudiment, song after song. You sent me on a conquest, to be the John Bonham, every drummer wants to be. Every rim tap, flam, and rebound stroke was slowly building the person I am today. This year, I am in 7th grade and a percussionist in the middle school band. I commend you for all of your good work, and I would like to see you keep changing lives tap, by tap. Thank you for all that you have done.
