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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
