To My Past Teachers,
This is a letter to all of the teachers and professors I've ever had the pleasure of having in the past 15 years.
To my Kindergarten teacher, thank you for teaching me the basics, which include simple math, the alphabet and learning how to count to 100. Thank you for preparing me for the future.
To the rest of the teachers I had in elementary school and middle school, thank you for teaching me how to write in cursive, how to do long division, my multiplication tables and how to write a decent paper. To my past teachers in junior high: Thank you for showing me how to take final exams, do difficult projects, and write long essays.
Now to my past high school teachers. Thank you for investing your time in my life, and for helping me become a better student. To Mrs. Jacobs, thank you for being the best history and economics teacher I've ever had. You taught me so much, not only in history, but you taught me valuable lessons as well. You taught me to never give up on anything. You taught me that if I have a problem, to fix it with the right attitude. You taught me that I could do anything I want in life and succeed at it if I tried my best.
To my AP Literature teacher, Mrs. Angelo, without you I wouldn't be able to write the papers I do now in college. I wouldn't know what an annotation was or how to analyze a piece of writing. Thank you for actually caring about your students. To Mrs. Beale, thank you for showing me what I'm called to be in life, a teacher. Thank you for pushing me every day. Thank you for allowing me to work with your students and actually get a taste of what it's like to be a teacher. Thank you for being such a light in my life when I really needed encouragement. I appreciate everything you did for me. To my professors I've had in the past two years, thank you for showing me what stress really is (kidding.) Thank you for helping me reach my full potential in class.
So, to all of the teachers I've had in my life, I would like to give you a big thank you for believing in me. Thank you for all you taught me. I appreciate all of your hard work. Thank you for truly investing your time in my life. It is because of you all that I'm now in college to become a teacher.
Love,
Katie
