To the teachers who inspired me,

I miss you. We haven't talked in quite some time. I've learned a lot since you've taught me! I thought you'd like to know.. I'm planning on becoming a teacher! You might ask why. My answer? You! You're the reason.

I've been thinking about you a lot lately, and just wanted to say a simple "thank you."

Thank you for being patient with me when I wasn't always the easiest to handle. I'm sure you saw the constant chatter between me and my friends that went on while you trying to teach us long division, or even the note passing that we thought we were so incredibly sly with. My bad.

Thank you for creating the most fun classroom environment that I've ever experienced. With your exciting games and enthusiastic personality, I actually enjoyed the year I spent with you in the classroom. You made learning fun and always incorporated new techniques into our room and it truly made the learning process more enjoyable for me.

Thank you for always believing in me, especially when I didn't believe in myself. There were many times that I felt like giving up but you never let me. Whether it was a math strategy I wouldn't take to or even just trouble with friends, you never allowed me to give up. You encouraged me to do my best on all things inside the classroom and that truly helped me realize that I could do anything that I set my mind to.

Just like you, I hope that I'm able to be there for my students and put them on the path of success by not only being their teacher, but their friend as well. I hope to take teaching strategies that you taught me and incorporate them in my own classroom. And last but not least, I will give each and every one of my students that love that you gave me throughout our time together.

Thank you,

Your student.

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?

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?

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.
