To The Teacher Who Inspired Me To Become One


Hi Miss Czaika,

I know that I haven't stepped foot in your classroom in about 7 years or so and it's been years since I talked to you in person (although I'm hoping that will change during the Senior Walkthrough), but you've always been one of my favorite teachers.

Whenever I think of being a teacher, I think of you. You let me harness my creativity and still kept me on track when I forgot to log my 100 Book Challenge Lines. You let me write my heart out about whatever I wanted, whether it was fairies or Webkinz.

I'm still friends with Paige, who you introduced me to all those years ago and Christain too. I've still been a theatre kid but onstage performing instead of turning a set piece back and forth.

In October, I got accepted to Shippensburg University (and Lock Haven too, but I'm not counting that) to major in Elementary/Middle-Level Education with a Social Studies concentration (although I'm thinking about adding on a Science concentration to that).

I know that I can't be as amazing of a teacher like you, but I'm going to try my hardest (and avoid a Chinchilla as a class pet).

Sincerely,

Sara Gigl

2011-2012

In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
