Thanks To The Best English Teachers In The World

You prepared me for life!

Thanks To The Best English Teachers In The World
Blogspot

I seriously cannot thank all of the English teachers I had in junior high and high school enough. And I even can't thank the ones I didn't have, but got to know, either. 'Cause I'm sure your students are thinking the same things about you that I think about the ones I had. My school district seriously has the best English teachers in the world. They truly all know what they are teaching and prepare their students very well for their future.

Thank you for teaching how to write proper sentences that actually made sense — sorry if this article isn't grammatically correct. Thanks for teaching how to write a simple essay and speeches at the junior high level. My junior high English teachers really prepared me for high school.

Thank you for having us write responses about the chapters we read. That seriously helped me, and I'm sure others understand what we were reading better. I do have to confess, though, I didn't always read every single book you assigned in high school. And I am so sorry about that. I should have done my homework and read my assigned reading.

Thank you for having confidence in all of your students! 'Cause if any of them are/were like me, I can say your confidence helped a ton. Especially when it came to writing the research paper. At the beginning of sophomore year when you told us we would have to be writing a seven to 10 page paper, I was like, "There's no way that's possible." By the time I came around to writing it, I thought there was no way I could keep from going more than 10 pages long. Thanks for letting it go over the limit.

Thanks for having us do all of those projects for the books we read. Doing multiple projects for the same book truly helped us understand it fully. It really helped that we had to do them in groups because then we were able to see different views about the book. Or if we didn't quite understand something we had a peer to ask. Although we may have dreaded them and thought they were a waste of time at the time, they were definitely beneficial to our learning experience.

Thank you for tearing apart our essays. Honestly before I had you (you know who you are) I thought I was decent at writing papers. But with you, you helped me see how I could really write. I wasn't writing to my fullest potential before you. You seriously prepared me to write in college. I know we hated your class, how much writing you had us do and the 6 in the morning conferences, but in the end, it was all worth it. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

And of course I'm writing this article at the time night, well day, depending how you look at it, I did all throughout high school. Yes, it's practically 2 in the morning. Honestly, though, this is the time when I write best. Most of the essays in high school and junior high I wrote at this time, and I got A's on them. But mainly I got the A's cause I had the best English teachers in the whole world. Thank you so much for being my teachers!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
