********************

I, too, belong to the generation of kids who grew up with Sesame Street.

In fact, It’s where I learned Conversational English rather than in school.

Not to mention the songs and jingles this show had that I still play
or still stuck in my head.
I still count to 12 the way that song goes with the Pinball Machine and everything.
You know what I am talking about.

The characters Luis, Gordon, Bob, David and even Mr. Hooper were the ones I looked up to.
They were big influences in my life that taught me how to interact with people
and to those who are different from me.

I watched this show religiously when I was young.
Sure, I had the biggest crush on Maria, but that’s besides the point.

Up to this day, I still wish to know how to get to Sesame Street.
Where the days are sunny and the clouds get swept away.

Rest In Peace, Señor Luis.
Muchas Gracias.
