Woozle/school/1981/Spring/watercolor

I can't help but wonder how my life would have been if the transcript below were actually what had been written. (It has been corrected for my preferred name and gender.)

I think the teacher's name was Ellen; I don't know why the report isn't signed anywhere.

Transcript

Woozle is an artist whose paintings occasionally turn out to be singing poems. Her vision is unique and extraordinary, and she is at ease with committing that vision to paper. At least 3 of her paintings this term stunned me. I hope she continues to explore this avenue for self-expression for there is very real talent inside that young woman.

Afterthoughts

In reality, I think I've maybe done half a dozen watercolors (finished and otherwise) since then, due largely to life circumstances being generally kind of uncomfortable and not conducive to painting. That's... 37 years, as of this writing.
