Some people may say teaching is easy, or that they don't like school or teachers. I was blessed through my high school years to have teachers who didn't just teach me, but inspired me, and led me to where I am now. These teachers ranged from English to physics and all the way back to chemistry..
To my high school English teacher my senior year, you taught me the joys of reading. I enjoyed some books like "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and "The Great Gatsby," even though I read most of the the stories in class. When we read them in class it turned to be much more of an adventure. You also gave me the confidence to write. I may not be the best writer but your positive feedback always got me excited to see what the next assignment was.
To my junior year physics teacher who never gave up on me, when I was struggling: physics isn't easy and at the start I was truly struggling, but I didn't give up. I stayed after class for help, I did retests when I needed, and openly asked for help even when I thought the question was stupid. You also taught it's okay to ask for help and somethings are not going to be easy, but if you work hard it will get easier.
To my junior/senior math teacher: you were the best and opened my eyes to how fun math can be. Mathematics was my favorite class and learning business math is what first made me want to be in finance. Something about math just came easily to me and I guess that's because you taught in a way that was easy to understand. I can never thank you enough for the impact you have made in my life.
Lastly to my chemistry teacher: you were the one teacher I could tell anything to and I and grateful we had that friendship. I will admit chemistry was hard for me, but you were willing to do whatever it took to help me pass. Even though I dropped your class, you were still one of the greatest teachers I had.
I am so grateful that I had fantastic teachers to help guide me. They taught me skills that I will carry with me forever. Teaching isn't a easy thing to do. It's a skill in itself and I was lucky to have the best teachers. So again, thank you to all the teachers.
