To All The Teachers I Have Been Blessed With, Here Are 5 Reasons To Thank You

Instagram

The past eight years of my life have I not only spent most of my days in a school classroom, but I have also spent countless hours in a dance studio learning just as valuable lessons. Every teacher I was blessed with in school and in dance have shaped me into the person that I am today, and have taught me how to truly live my life to the fullest.

I can not thank you all enough for all that you have done for me and for so many others. You are all the greatest role models that I could have ever asked for, and I can never express enough how much that means to me.

You gave me something to look forward to on a bad day, words of wisdom when I felt lost, and a person that I knew I could trust to support me and love me no matter what.

I certainly would not be who I am today if you had not taught me these five lessons.

1. You taught me how to embrace myself

I now know who I am; I have discovered my individuality. You helped me discover who I am, and how to be proud of that person. I am now not afraid to be different or to stand out. I know how to embrace my inner and outer self.

2. You taught me how to embrace others

I now know the importance of others, and how important it is to form strong positive relationships. Because of how you impacted me, I know how much one single person can affect another.

3. You taught me how to be happy even when I was sad

I now know how to find the good in every moment of life. I know how to look on the bright side of things, always focus on the positives, and not let one bad thing ruin me or bring me down.

4. You taught me how to believe in everything I do

I now know that it doesn't matter what other people think of me or what I do, as long as I am happy with myself. If I truly believe in myself, I can do anything that my heart and mind desire.

5. You taught me how to live my life through passion, purpose, and love

I now know how to truly live my life with meaning. I now follow my heart in all that I do, with nothing stopping me. You showed me how to do what I love, and love what I do. Because of the love and passion that flows out of you, I now know that it comes from within. It is up to me to live my life with purpose, to love everything and everyone, and to live passionately. No one can tell me how to live my life, it is mine. With passion, purpose, and love comes happiness, fulfillment, and satisfaction.

You were all someone that I knew I could look up to throughout those years, and someone I continue to admire to this day. I hope to one day become half of the person that you all are. I also hope to one day impact someone the way that you have impacted me.

Thank you so much for making me, me. I love you!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
