You are one of a kind,

but no one seems to appreciate you.

All the work you put in,

all the stress you endure,

just to make our futures promising.

You make a difference

and never get a thank you.

But somehow,

you never give up.

Even when we do not listen,

even when we are talking,

even when we are daydreaming,

and even when we are texting

you still care about us.

You put your life on hold,

just to help create a better one for us.

Every day,

year after year,

you put up with our immature self.

You are not just teaching us a subject,

but you are teaching us the way of life.

You teach us to never give up.

You teach us to follow our hearts.

You teach us to love ourselves.

But sadly,

somewhere along the line

we forgot about the beauty you brought to our world.

We were blinded for so long,

about the power teachers have over their students.

But see,

if someone asked me who my hero was,

I would say you.

You take at least six hours out of your day,

to help prepare us for the real world.

We walk around high school

acting like we do not need you.

But if it was not for you,

we would have not become the person we are today.

You push us to be better.

You help us when we are struggling.

You encourage us to work harder.

Most importantly,

you catch us before we fall.

You really are the definition of a superhero,

and we want to say thank you.

Thank you for listening,

thank you for understanding,

and thank for you never giving up on us.

We took you for granted,

when you were our biggest fan.

You were always cheering us on,

and we never appreciated you.

But,

that never stopped you from giving us your all.

And even though you are no longer teaching us,

your wise words will stay with us forever.

We know you will continue to watch over us,

as we develop and grow into our true-self.

You are not just our superhero,

but our guardian angel.

While we were in high school,

you helped us achieve our goals.

You used every piece of your intelligence,

just to help prepare us for our next chapter.

Now,

as we are in college,

you watch us excel from a distance.

And once we graduate college,

we can only hope to make you proud.

For you know what we truly are capable of.

So,

we will continue to push ourselves,

the same way you pushed us throughout the years.

To only hope that we can make you smile,

with all the accomplishments we finally achieved.
