Rest in Peace Ronn Raymond - Valley View High School

Yesterday I got a phone call from my 9th Grade English Teacher that my ASB (Associated Student Body) teacher and personal friend Ronn Raymond had passed away.  I was driving and had to pull over on the freeway.  In life, pain is a part of growth but yesterday I was not ready for this news.  Death and Dying is something I studied in college for my own personal growth.  Learning to deal with people passing away has become something I help others with because of my expertise in the area but even experts have moments when they break.....

• If you really knew me, you would know that Ronn Raymond was one of the reasons I became an activist for social injustice.  

• If you really knew me, you would know that my involvement in ASB in high school helped me to deal with severe depression as a teenager.

 

• If you really knew me, you would know that my 9th and 10th grade high school years formulated my life and Mr. Raymond was a part of what you now see today.

Often, people will ask me how I can remain so positive amidst what seems to be trial after trial - I tell them simply - faith.   Ronn Raymond is the reason I was able to do this....

And the CATALYST behind this EVENT soon after......

In a World full of CHAOS I'd be remiss to not let you know to HOLD ON - POSSIBILITIES EXIST™

I love you, and there's absolutely, positively, nothin you can do about it!!! Dawn The Self-Esteem Queen™
