4 Things I Want To Thank My High School Teachers For

As I make my way into college this month, i have been thinking a lot about high school and how lucky i was when it came to my teachers. As i talk to others from different schools i hear about the teachers and how mean some may be. During my four years, i never complained about my teachers because there was no reason to. High school was a great experience for me, and my teachers played a huge part in that. I have been in classrooms where the teacher is completely disrespected by students, and i dont understand why or the reasoning behind it when most of the teachers go above and beyond for their students.

High school can be some of the best days of your life. Having teachers who have the best personalities make it 10 times better. I've had my fair share of great teachers. Here are four things I'd like to thank them for:

1. Thank you for continuously seeing potential in me.

No matter how many good or bad grades I deserved, you never stopped trying with me. You always saw potential in all your students and always put your 100 percent into everything. Even for the students that did not want to be in school or only went to school to give you attitude, you always tried.

2. Thank you for always putting in time and effort to help me understand the lesson.

At times I can be a very slow learner, but you always made sure that if your students needed help, to simply ask. Even when I asked the same question over and over again, you would never let me leave unless I knew what I was doing. So thank you for having patience. I know I wouldn't be able to do what you do.

3. Thank you for making my long school days less boring.

During the long school days, you always had the students laughing and being social. You made learning fun by including games and group work. Luckily, school wasn't just sitting in a desk all day learning about things nobody cared about but instead, the lessons were introduced in a fun and active way.

4. Thank you for always being a listening ear.

People often see teachers as people who teach your children and send them long pages of homework to do. That's far from the truth. They become your role model and a friend. I personally always felt comfortable going to my teachers for everything, whether it was problems I was having in school or just every day problems I was having.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
