“Three hours into my first day of high school, Ms. Griffin proved everything I knew about art wrong.<br />
I thought it was a hobby, a thing to pass the time. Instead, her charisma and zeal about the subject<br />
showed me that art was a burning passion inside every soul. I remember the day she handed me my<br />
first set of acrylic paints and paintbrushes and told me to get out of my comfort zone. However, it is<br />
evident that she did much more than that. She pushed me out, gave me wings, and let me truly grow<br />
as both a person and an artist. Ms. Griffin helped me learn to love the paint in my hair, the graphite<br />
smudged against my hands, and the chalk pastel rubbed on my jeans. She continues to inspire me<br />
every day with her enthusiasm and magnetic personality, and she never fails to make me laugh with her<br />
quirks and witty remarks. Ms. Griffin, thank you for the last four years of my life, and you are definitely<br />
more beautiful!”
