Thank you.

Thank you for everything you have managed to teach me in my life time. You taught me to always do my homework, how to play sports and be a good teammate. You taught me the tricks of the trade and helped to make my life a whole lot easier. You taught me a lot of things, but most important of them all, you taught me how to be a good person in this corrupt world. A lesson that not everyone has the privilege of learning.

You taught me more than just saying "please, thank you and you're welcome." You taught me more than holding the door open for the person behind me, more than always leaving a tip after a meal, and more than giving my seat up for someone older than me. You taught me how to live my life the best way possible; filled with love, kindness and respect. You taught me how to be a beautiful person both inside and out.

You taught me that I should say hello to every one I see, and that I should compliment strangers in order to make their day better. to give my time to help someone else out. You taught me that there is always time for family, friends and yourself. You taught me that I should wear a smile at all times in order to help brighten someone's day.

You taught me to laugh at everyone's jokes whether funny or not, because you never know who needs to feel appreciated. You taught me to appreciate the little things like someone remembering your favorite color, or the sun setting after a rough day. You taught me that everything in this world is for a reason, and that the only way to live right is by living life to the fullest. You taught me to not only respect my elders, but to give everyone respect, as long as they show that they deserve it. You taught me that evil can't be fought with evil, but instead, it can be conquered with love. You taught me that the ability to listen to others and be honest are two things that should never be taken for granted.

You taught me how to laugh at myself when I make a mistake, and how to love myself when I'm having trouble doing so. You taught me that this world may not always be the happiest or kindest, but that does not mean you have to change who you are. You taught me to look for the good in others, to give others chances and how to forgive. You taught me that everyone make's mistakes, but that doesn't mean they are their mistakes.

You taught me more than I thought I could ever possibly learn. You filled both my mind and heart with lessons that I will hold on to forever and never forget. You taught me how to be a good person in this world, to never change who I am and that love, kindness and respect should always come first. You taught me how to live my life right.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

A Loving, Kind and Respectful Human Being.
