Dear Professor,

Thank you for making me love my major even more. Sometimes I am not too sure if I am right for this career but you believe in me and always tell me how good I am doing in your class.

Honestly, when I read the syllabus to your class, I was extremely nervous because I had never written stories for print before. I didn't know what it would consist of. I thought it was going to be a lot more difficult; however, you made it easy and always helped me if I had a question.

You made me realize how passionate I am about writing and reporting with the stories you assigned. I never would have thought I would actually want to write for a career because I always wanted to be an anchor on television. However, because of you, I realized how much I love to write and hope to do that as a career.

Thank you for always taking the time to talk to me after class about extra credit opportunities and even getting my foot in the door in the industry.

Your tips on talking to possible employers really helped me. In fact, because of your help, I was offered an internship to research and write, two of the things your class taught me how to do.

You have inspired me to pursue news even more. It's great being taught by a professional who is just as passionate as I am about journalism.

You saw what I didn't see in myself. I thank you for inspiring and motivating me to do my best .

Thank you for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself.

Sincerely,

Your Inspired Student
