To My Favorite Teacher

Thank you.

As a freshman in college, I have had many, many teachers in my day. Every teacher I have had up to this point has played a huge role in me becoming the person, and student, that I have become.

While I am eternally grateful for all the teachers I have had, out of the 50 plus teachers I had in my schooling career at this point, one particularly stands out in my mind.

To my English Teacher, my junior year of high school, thank you.

During this time in my life, I was going through a lot of issues in my personal life. School was not always where I wanted to be, or what I was focusing on. However, whenever I came into your class, it took my mind off everything, and it was somewhere I actually looked forward to going to.

You took an interest in every student you had, including me, caring about all of your student genuinely succeeding. This was something that meant that world to not only me, but many of the other students lucky enough to have you as well.

Prior to having your class, I had been losing confidence in my writing abilities, which was something that was hard for me, considering how much I had always loved writing, and because it had always been my best subject. Having you, and getting positive feedback from you, helped me to regain that confidence, and love writing again. Without you, who knows if I would be writing for a website like this, or doing anything else I have been doing involving writing.

You were always so patient, even in the hardest, most frustrating times, you never raised your voice, or got angry with us. That in itself is pretty admirable.

The time I was fortunate enough to spend in your classroom, helped me in more ways then I think you even know. You are such a kind, patient, helpful and encouraging individual. I will never forget that year, or you. Nothing you did went unnoticed, or unappreciated.

Thank you for everything.

Teachers are blessings to us all. Even though we do not always enjoy being at school, or see eye-to-eye with every teacher we have, we can all admit the type of impact a great teacher can have on us. When we are lucky enough to come in contact with one of these teachers, they have a profound effect on us, and for that, we are all pretty lucky.

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.
