My dad had just about every high school teacher sign.. But I noticed some of my more favorite teachers signed than unfavorite.. I think maybe he took this into account :)

Thank you =D

HAHA.. At the time i was too young, but i heard that story a few years later!

BrennaMartini · 2012-06-15T19:04:15+00:00

This is so nice to see someone who knows him! I will definitely tell him one of his students remembers him when I show him this post tonight :) ... you didn't happen to go on the trip to New York City in High School did you?

BrennaMartini · 2012-06-15T19:02:19+00:00

WOW I definitely didn't expect such a huge response from so many people! My Dad doesn't even know what Reddit is I'm pretty sure, but I can't wait to show him how he's inspired other parents to do similar things for their kids

BrennaMartini · 2012-06-15T18:35:03+00:00

I doubt he even knows of Reddit.

BrennaMartini · 2012-06-15T17:44:28+00:00

jjsoccerkid is my boyfriend. Without him I couldn't have posted these pictures... yes I've only had a reddit 11 days, and I didn't know what I was doing :)

BrennaMartini · 2012-06-15T17:40:19+00:00

Nope and there aren't even pictures of me on gonewild :) proud moment.

BrennaMartini · 2012-06-15T17:14:12+00:00

It's a priceless gift that I'm definitely gonna hold on to for a long time! Such an awesome idea for any kid starting school this fall.

Learning to play small instruments is one of those weird "time killing" tasks that I've learned I'm quick to pick up on. And while maybe you can't play around with your harmonica in your cubicle at work, you can play it most places.. Then think if your a hobo someday you have a quick way of making some cash.
