A TRIBUTE TO DR. HERM FISHBEIN

Dr. Herm was not just my headmaster

He was also my mentor and my friend

He showed me everything there is to see about getting along with in the world with a disability

He also taught me that I had disabilites, but also great abilities that only I have

He taught me how to write poetry which no one thought I could do

He spent time with me, teaching yes, but also laughing and bringing me down to Earth

Dr. Herm, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have made this journey to the big moment where I could write poems and drafts on my own, so thank you

I will miss you every day

I really loved working with you

See you in heaven
