“Mr. Tumlinson redefined the way I think by guiding us as we considered boundaries, frameworks, and<br />

the truth. We pushed past the superficial, exploring the vast depths beyond. While Descartes never<br />

said, “I think, therefore I am,” this misquote applied to us every single day in that classroom. As we<br />

changed the way we thought, we changed ourselves. We matured and grew into thoughtful beings. Mr.<br />

Tumlinson, someday I’ll read Gulliver’s Travels, and every time I see a jar, I’ll wonder where I should put<br />

it. I’ll never forget to look for the nuances in my words, and I’ll think before I speak and then I’ll think again.<br />

The differences between “same” and “similar” are too great to be discounted. But the greatest lesson I<br />

learned is to not be afraid to voice my opinions no matter what they were. Thank you, Mr. Tumlinson.”
