Hey Mr. Fisher,

I didn’t get to talk to you really since the rehearsal of graduation. The day of graduation I didn’t get to really interact with you at all besides you conducting us while we played.

I saw you when I came back for one of the schools football games and talked to you for a little bit but I wish it could’ve been longer just to update you on how I’ve been.

I don’t think you’d be happy to hear this but I haven’t picked up my viola since graduation. I do have it with me at school but I haven’t gotten around to it as I’ve been particularly busy.

I’ve joined two student professional organizations. One is the Financial Management Association and Temple University’s Investment Association. I also applied to get into Temple University’s Fox Fund which is a student virtual investment portfolio with about fifty students that acts as the feeder fund/training program for the Owl Fund. The Owl Fund is the equity student-managed investment fund at my business school.

Other than that, I made Dean’s List first semester and I’ve done pretty well in this spring semester as well. I just had my spring break and was with some friends and they talked about how they saw you and I hope I can do the same after I finish finals in May.

You guiding our orchestra classes and rehearsals made me wake up during the mornings, starting off my day with the uplifting sounds from our group in the music we played.

You might not know this but being in your orchestra taught me a lot about humility. People didn’t really care about what I did in the sports aspect of my life, congratulating me here and there for achievements. I had to succeed in the area they appreciated to actually be not only respected but talented. It just reinforced my want to work hard in anything I’m interested in, which has carried over to college.

So I just want to thank you for that, as a lot of the lessons I learned being in your orchestra has led me to success so far in my early career.

Our orchestra trip to Boston during our senior year was one of the best trips I’ve been on and none of it would have been possible without you. You were hired my freshman year, so we grew together along with the rest of the seniors through the four years. You were always keeping up on my accolades or games and gave me confidence in my playing in the front row even though I didn’t have the time to practice like my counterparts.

Thank you for that added renaissance man personality and making me keep a well rounded profile. I hope we can meet up before the high school year ends and we can catch up with the rest of my classmates from that group.

But until then, keep enhancing the students and I wish you the best of luck in the spring concert and play.

Sincerely,
Trey Trevis
