Hi,

My name is Sergio. I was a student of Mr. Faison. I am sorry about your loss. He indeed was the best teacher I have ever had. I just found out about what happened yesterday, Sept. 20, 2005. I had just come from court and thought I would pay him a visit at school, since it had been nearly 2 years since I had seen him. I am very shocked about what they had told me. I still don't believe it. I know I will never have another teacher or friend like him because he was simply the best person that I knew next to God. He had a really good sense of humor, and I believe that is where I got mine from, and I also believe it is what made his class worth going to. Summit Annex is known to the students as the "drop-zone," which means that it was the last school willing to accept us. However, Mr. Faison made it seem like it was the best school any kid could ever go to. He always gave us chances at succeeding. For that I thank him. Without him, I wouldn't be graduating this year. I was just about ready to drop-out, until I was transferred into his class. I will keep prayer for him. Thank you for your time and God bless you.
