Harlan Kredit (born 1939) is a multiple award-winning Dutch-American high school teacher from Lynden, Washington. He was the first Washingtonian teacher ever to be inducted into the National Teachers Hall of Fame. He has spent the majority of his career at Lynden Christian High School. Kredit is also a ranger at Yellowstone Park in Wyoming during the summer and a prolific photographer for the National Park Service.
Kredit has gained renown for his "investigative" approach to teaching secondary biology and emphasis on leadership, and for his efforts in fish and wildlife conservation, particularly along Whatcom County's Fishtrap Creek (which eventually dispenses into Puget Sound). His students know him for his familiar exclamation of "It's a great day to be alive!"
Harlan Kredit was born and raised in Lynden, Washington, alongside Fishtrap Creek, which contained "huge numbers of salmon each fall."
Kredit graduated from Calvin College in 1961 and taught high school science education in Hudsonville, Michigan from 1962 to 1972. In 1967 he gained a master's degree in Science Teaching from the College of William and Mary.

Ma what's going on
We sitting here man
Digging on each other I'm feeling the shit out of you
You feeling the shit out of me
What you scared don't be scared
[Verse 1]
It was around 11:30 when I realized I miss you,
sitting at home all alone thinking what did I
just do, feeling was strong coming on and I knew I wanted you,
something inside me held me back,
boy you got me scared of you.
[Chorus 2x]
You got me afraid to let my love go.
Is it my heart that I should follow.
Got me afraid to let myself go.
Got me scared of you.
[Irv Gotti]
See,see what what it's like it's like we got to get over this
hump ma
until we get over this hump, it's going to be f**ked up!
[Verse 2]
If I let go I don't know if my heart will remain strong
cause you the type that just might give
right and get me strong I couldn't be just a girl
that your're seeing once a month cause if it
goes down better believe I'm gonna be your only one
[Chorus 2x]
[Bridge 2x]
Should I let it go,
Should I let it go no no no no
Should I let it go,
Should I let it go no no
no no no no
[Chorus 2x]
[Bridge 2x]
