Dear Mr. Cattanzara,
20 years ago I was a different person then I am now. I didn’t finish school, I could barley read, I had no job, I lived at the expense of my sister and father. I was ashamed of myself. Every time I left home I was hoping nobody would see me in this shameful state.
Today, after 20 years I have become another person. I have made many significant changes in myself, all thanks to you, for making see life in a different light. I studied literature at university, and now I am a literature teacher in a high school. Every year I teach different pupils, and in each first lesson I tell my pupils about my past when I was their age. I make them believe that even if you are at the bottom you can rise
and change. I live with my lovely wife, Jordan, and we have three wonderful children.
And I hope that if one day one of my pupils would be in the situation that I was, I will be able to change him like you changed me.
My pupils have been waiting to meet
you so come and visit us, I miss you.
George.
Your letter Yarden, is so moving. I especially like the education career George has taken as a
השבמחקresult of the lesson he learnt from Mr. C.
You presented George as an authentic and sensitive man.
