An Open Letter To My Favorite High School Teacher

In high school I had this pretty awesome teacher and we called ourselves "The Breakfast Club" because we would sit around and talk every morning.

In High school everyone has that one teacher who they instantly click with. My Earth Science teacher was that person. His name is Mr.Richard.

Every morning from freshman year all the way to senior year I would go to his classroom before school started everyday and then at 7:25 a.m. I would run to my class to not be late.

I could tell him absolutely anything. When I got my license we had this running joke were he said that he didn't want to go on the roads since he thought I would be a bad driver. Everyday I would go report to him how my driving was and he got a kick out of it.

When I was a junior, one of my friends and I came up with the idea to call ourselves "The Breakfast Club" like the movie. Now that the founding members of "The Breakfast Club" have left we told the others to keep it going in our honor and it has kept going. Maybe it will keep going forever.

Mr. Richard was that one guy who knew when I was mad and there were times when he flat out told me that I needed to calm down. They say you only have the teachers that will remain your favorite once but I had him three times and I could not be happier. Finding a teacher that you can relate to on a more personal level is not always easy but some how I find that teacher every year and I had one every year plus Mr.Richard.

Teachers are one in a million and everyone gets lucky at least once. Mr. Richard is the bomb and he is also an inspiration to me ! Teachers are all different and they all have a special way of teaching that makes them more unique then the next person.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
