I enjoyed the author’s prose. In many instances, it was almost poetic in its cadence.

However, I feel sad that her early education experience was less than optimal.

My early education was considerably different. My recollection of second and third grades are detailed and positive because the teachers and their actions were so very memorable.
Regardless, the author made her feelings abundantly clear. She is bound to be a great snd successful writer, if she so choses.

An important point of view and well written reminder of the short and long term significance of having art and music in school curricula.

Boom! She strikes again…hard hitting, graceful and quick…and she’s gone in a flash, or more likely lying on the floor in a joyous fit of laughter over something she just thought of or something one of her friends said. And there ya go. Even from 6000 miles away the “Might T” makes an impact. Bang zoom…to the moon!

Beautifully written and spot on. The arts at schools have been whittled away. I believe you are correct that mental illness/anxiety can be relieved through the arts and time outdoors. Bravo Talya.
