Mr. Scott
So I've told many of you about this really awesome teacher that i have for my English class (a literature class about the Bible) named Mr. Scott. He was an Army Ranger captain while working in-joint with the the CIA in Cambodia during vietnam and is just the most legit/coolest/chillest man ever. But more importantly i found out today that he not only taught at TMS for any old semester, but the first ever semester and helped found the school. He helped shape the English program into what it is today and setup the Outdoor Program, basing it off the Outdoor Leadership program at my school. Him and Jack are still BFF's and he has admitted to having a crush on Marilyn. Jack even used to come to my school for presentations until one year the two of them got into too crazy shenanigans and TMS banned Jack from coming. (I'm not even allowed to know what they did, though i have some theories). Basically I describe him to most people as Jack without the sass/attitude. On to my main point. I love going to his class and seeing him wear his green Mountain School sweatshirt. It feels great when he tells me that Marilyn, Trudy, or Jack say hello. In my semester grading comments he even said that I made him homesick for TMS, which was a good thing. He made my transition back to my homeschool so much easier because he's been the perfect bridge between my school and TMS. It has been amazing to have someone like this greet me at school and fully adjust me to life at home without pulling the rug out from under me.
