FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS


Just a few days ago a life was lost to a very loved teacher, Ms.Hansen. She was in an accident while riding her motorcycle. She collided with a car at the intersection of Cesar Chavez and Potrero. She died shortly after the emergency crews arrived. Today a memorial was held where many students and alumni came to give their respect and give their condolences. Candles were lit, flowers put on the table, and people wrote on posters for Ms.Hansen outside her classroom.

Ms.Hansen was a very bright teacher who was very involved with the school. She always brought smiles to everyone around her. I remember that she was my very first teacher at Burton. She was my homeroom teacher freshmen year. Adrina Arenas remembers Ms.Hansen walking into the room with a ruler that had a picture of Angelina Jolie attached to it, "Look it's Angelina Jolie!" she said. The whole class began to laugh. Along with many others im sure we can all remember the great times that we've had with her. It still is a shock that she is gone but she's made her mark in the world and as much as we wish that she was still here, she is in a much better place.
Its so scary how you can see someone and just a little while later, they are gone forever. We will meet again someday, but this tells us to cherish life and to respect the time that we have.
Rest in Peace Ms.Hansen we all miss you so much already
Now we'll just wait for the day for us to meet again and make jokes about anything and everything. Thanks for all the good times that people have in their memories that will never be forgotten! !
