You were…
our friend…
our guide…
you have led us to do so many great things.
You have helped us through school.
You have helped us learn.
There is nothing we can do to thank you for all you have done.
Regretfully, you have let us down this one time.
You have been broken.
It’s time to offer you to the pencil sharpener.
I hope you make it through okay.
