Although I never was in band or orchestra and I never got to be super close with him, I still had a connection with Mr. Selvi. His personality just radiated throughout Forest Lakes. Every students knew who he was and every student wanted him as a teacher. I am Delaney Bosworth currently a Freshman at NHHS. When I was in 5th grade there was a winter play and it was A Christmas Vacation, from what I remember Mr.Selvi was in charge of it for the most part and I wanted to be in it so bad, so I tried out and got the role of the wife. I was beyond excited, we had practices and Mr. Selvi made them so much fun, we didn't really want them to end. Then in April, long story short I got a sickness that caused me to be paralyzed, but after Mr. Selvi was diagnosed for a month or two, I wrote on his facebook page to keep fighting because I know he is strong and will be able to get through cancer, he is stronger than it. He then replied saying how it meant a lot coming from me especially and that I inspire him (something like that at least), that shocked me, Mr, Selvi, the teacher fighting for his life says I inspire him well he inspires me. The last thing Mr. Selvi ever said to me was "I'm alive" after I asked how he was. Although he isn't physically alive, I know he is alive spiritually, in the music we hear, or seeing some very awkward dance moves, even star wars references. They show how he is still around us everyday. Thank you Mr. Selvi, a lot. Shake n Bake
