To That Special Teacher

She is actually more than a teacher; She is a mentor.

I was lucky enough to have such an inspiring and unique teacher consistently for my four years of high school. Not all people are lucky enough to have that but there is still always that one teacher who sticks out of the many. There is always one who pushes more, or is closer to you.

The first time I met mine I was only 14 years old, I was a little intimidated and nervous but she somehow made me feel like I was in the right place. Behind my nervousness she saw a potential in me and since then pushed me to do great things because she knew I could. Not only did she do this for me but also my other classmates.

I am now almost 19 years old and I still go to her for advice or someone to talk to. She technically isn't my teacher anymore but she still cares and still is apart of my life and the lives of some of my classmates. I can ask her for help through a simple text or even ask to met with her and she will always pull through.

She's the kind of teacher that sometimes will scare you, but you wouldn't trade her for the world.

Over four years her real life stories, blunt talks on really, and sarcastic remarks I learned more than I could imagine. She taught me how to look at life in a way I didn't before. She was the teacher you NEVER wanted to have disappointed in you. She was the teacher that could give you one look and you instantly knew that you need to get your shit together. She is actually more than a teacher; She is a mentor. She was the second mom who knew most things about you, even the darkest of things.

I still wish I had her here at college for a teacher. She was always the best part of the day, but I do know she is always with me. I know she will always have interest in whatever I choose to do with my life and I can always come to her.

So to that special teacher, thank you. You mean a lot more to me than you know.

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.

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.
