A Thank You Letter To My High School Teachers

You formed me into a student that was ready for college and life; I thank you for that.

A Thank You Letter To My High School Teachers
Mcclendc.wordpress

To my high school teachers,

Thank you for pushing me past my limits when I wanted to quit. You saw a potential in me that I didn’t see in myself. Whether it was a main subject, such as English, or an elective like theater, you wanted to see me succeed, no matter what I said I couldn’t do. I’m thankful for that because I can now see my full potential in college and know what I can or can’t do. Without you all, I may have never ended up at a four-year university.

Thank you for helping me break out of my shell. I came into high school as someone who was mostly shy and kept to herself. The teachers I had my freshman year helped me change that. Without being on the dance team, I wouldn’t have joined theater. Without my theater teacher, I wouldn’t have broken out of my shell as much as I did. I thank you the most for that. My theater teacher, Mr. Standly, forced me to step out of my comfort zone and do things I had never done before. Him doing this helped me succeed in theater through high school, dance through high school and my first two years of college, and just in life in general. I wouldn’t have the friends I have today without these teachers.

Thank you for ignoring me when I complained about the workload that was being given to us. You ignored me because no matter how much I said I couldn’t do it, you knew that I could. You told me that all of this work was nothing compared to the amount we would get in college. Now I can say you were right. Thank you for the workload that you gave me and prepared me for the years in college.

Thank you to those who have kept in touch with me even after I graduated. I know that nothing will change, because y’all do care and would help me to the best of your abilities if ever needed.

Thank you for always being there for us, especially when we lost a classmate, and you lost a student. Y'all were some of the biggest helpers for my graduating class in such an event.

Once again, thank you for everything you’ve done for me through the years. I’m eternally grateful for you all!

Love,

Your former student

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
