Love this gift he has given! And the idea is one I think I will find a way to use in my life.

It made me wish I was back again teaching. I recognize my own sense of dedication I had to my students, and to myself, as I did fling my whole self into a project and brought others with me. Whether I was teaching acting and drama, personal and spiritual growth, or writing classes. I'm thinking, at age 70, maybe I can do that again; maybe I can teach a writing class at the YWCA to young students and give them this assignment. I'm just not too certain I'll be around in 20 years! But maybe I can revise the assignment to work for me. What I love about Bruce Farrer is his pure devotion and his humility as a man and a teacher. He has inspired me to seek out a way to continue to have an influence. Food for thought! Thank you, Mr Farrer. You are priceless!

What inspired you about this video? I really liked this video. It reminded me that their are great and committed teachers. It also mirrored the reactions of the people in my life that receive my snail mail. Writing and receiving a letter has become rare but like Mr. Bruce I hope to keep the tradition alive.

how it look like

What an AMAZING & caring teacher! If each child had just one person who cared about them that much, to find them, to connect, in their life like he does, think how different their life would be! FYI: I am still in contact with three of my past teachers - from 9-12th grade art teacher and two college professors, bec I care.

The real integrity of the man is the best lesson for his students; he made a commitment and he honoured it, showing respect to each of the people he taught. I really love this, as a secondary teacher it embodies all the best qualities of outstanding teachers, he is too modest, this is an outstanding thing and he should be proud of himself, the concept and his insight that this assignment would be of real value, both at the time of writing and the time of reading. Wonderful teaching indeed.

This is so totally awesome...what a wonderful teacher....what a wonderful exercise for any young person to do.
A very special and generous man!

There is a never ending abundance of love that comes out of his commitment. It not only lifts Mr. Farrer (as one can see the aliveness in his gait) It lifts everyone he has touched.

That is what parenting and being s teacher is about! Putting the time in NO MATTER WHAT, that is what my mother did for us and that is what I will be doing for mine! Thanks Bruce and stay blessed?

This is wonderful. Parents can do this too. When my first child was born I wrote how I felt being a new mom, how in love I was with this baby, this new life I created. I saved it until she was 16. Now she has a baby of her own and began reading it. She sees a lot of similarities and we have grown closer.

How about us students take time off to write to teachers (find them like Mr Farrer did his students) - or better still, take the trouble to meet them - and tell them what they mean to us - to what we are today, where we are today!! it would make their day. And they more than deserve it.

It's a fantastic idea, what an imagination or foresight of Mr Farrer, unique indeed. I just can't wait to emulate the same thing with my children. I am gonna do it today.
