Dear Choir Teacher,
Day one of freshman year and I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into walking in that huge choir room of yours. Hearing you call my name for role call/attendance and smiling after I raised my hand here I knew it was where I belonged.
There were a number of times you yelled at us, whether it was for
or
even
which was the most common may I add?
That's not why I say I belonged in that choir of yours. you only did that to keep us in line and to see if we actually knew what we were doing. You even know if we went from
to
real quick, we meant business. When we meant business you knew a good day was going to come for us during practice that day.
You were probably having your good day before we even walked in the room, so there were somethings you surprised us with. From all your sarcasm (which is what you taught all of us),
to how you would sing with us;
even telling us which section was better than the other for some friendly competition of who would learn the song faster.
As the time flew with more to less people joining the choir every year you grew on those who had you all four years. Eventually we ended up being in your choir room way after rehearsal was over or way before just so we wouldn't have to be in the class before yours. That was why I felt I belonged in your choir every year.
Eventually we grew on you and appreciated everything you did for us. Making us laugh, giving us life advice and having random debates about topics you, me and even the general public are into. When you wrote, "Thanks for being one of the students that reminds me of why I went into teaching," in my yearbook my face lit up and my grin went from ear to ear. So thank you, choir teacher, for being you and never letting the choir down in times of trouble.
Sincerely,
Your Former Choir Student
