An Open Letter To My Favorite High School Teacher

In high school I had this pretty awesome teacher and we called ourselves "The Breakfast Club" because we would sit around and talk every morning.

In High school everyone has that one teacher who they instantly click with. My Earth Science teacher was that person. His name is Mr.Richard.

Every morning from freshman year all the way to senior year I would go to his classroom before school started everyday and then at 7:25 a.m. I would run to my class to not be late.

I could tell him absolutely anything. When I got my license we had this running joke were he said that he didn't want to go on the roads since he thought I would be a bad driver. Everyday I would go report to him how my driving was and he got a kick out of it.

When I was a junior, one of my friends and I came up with the idea to call ourselves "The Breakfast Club" like the movie. Now that the founding members of "The Breakfast Club" have left we told the others to keep it going in our honor and it has kept going. Maybe it will keep going forever.

Mr. Richard was that one guy who knew when I was mad and there were times when he flat out told me that I needed to calm down. They say you only have the teachers that will remain your favorite once but I had him three times and I could not be happier. Finding a teacher that you can relate to on a more personal level is not always easy but some how I find that teacher every year and I had one every year plus Mr.Richard.

Teachers are one in a million and everyone gets lucky at least once. Mr. Richard is the bomb and he is also an inspiration to me ! Teachers are all different and they all have a special way of teaching that makes them more unique then the next person.

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.
