Most people leave high school and never look behind. As for me, I met some of the best people I will ever know, and those people just happen to be some of my teachers. So, let me take a minute to thank them for a few things that I won't ever forget.
To my high school yearbook teacher: Thank you thank you thank you. I can't say thank you enough for your kindness and big heart. Would I have even made it through senior year without you? I can honestly say I have a lifelong friend who will always be there for me. Such an amazing teacher, with the biggest heart for her students. I can honestly say you had a huge impact on me, and I hope that I can be at least half the teacher you are.
To my high school history teacher: Before junior year, I HATED history. It was boring and I honestly didn't understand or care much for it. But now, I'm actually going to school to teach social studies to little kids. Why, you might ask? Because my high school history teacher made me see learning in a whole new way. You made learning so much fun and history actually super interesting. You're the reason I decided to be an educator. You also taught me everything I know about college. I wouldn't have made it through my first year as a college student without weekly college 101 during second period. Thanks for being such a positive impact on my education!
To my high school band director: Junior year, just when I thought I was done with music, you came and picked our program up from the beginning. I enjoyed band, I actually loved it, and continued it after high school because of you. But more than a band director, I also have another friend. You were always there for us and believed in us when no one else did. Thank you for never giving up on us! Thank you for all the advice and the continued support after graduation. You were a big part of making my senior year so great! #scottfan
And to my high school English teacher: Long live the king! You always had the best ears and great advice. You listened and you cared. Your crude sense of humor was my favorite. I know I will never have a teacher like you again, you are one of a kind. I always looked forward to 7th period, even on Crossword Friday. You were one of the best teachers I have ever had, and I still look forward to visiting you!
All of you have made a big impact in my life, and I can't thank you all enough. Thanks for being the best teachers I have ever had.
