God bless my 7th grade English teacher for not shaming me when I blatantly plagiarized a Bob Dylan lyric in my reading reflection journal thinking he was just some weird dude only my parents listened to.Instead,she told me I had good taste in music and could write poems myself if I wanted.🩵#Teachers
