Letters to Teachers

Mostly self-explanatory. Written for the wonderful teachers who taught me this year.

Mr. Martin,

Throughout the year, i realize that i have

not been your "model student". I havent been
able to fully understand much about

chemistry, but didnt want to quit honors or

ask for help. I was embarassed and nieve,

and it got the best of me. I thank you for

this school year, regardless, because you

have taught me that without fully applying

myself or trying my absolute hardest to

grasp a subject, i wont be able to just

coast by.

Mrs. E,

I realize that i have not been a very good

student to you this year, and i hope you

might forgive me for that. Instead of asking

for help on things i didnt fully understand,

i sat in silence and tried to figure it out

on my own. You have been such a great

teacher and wonderful role model, but even

though you made math more fun, i still tried

to do things by myself. This proved to be

my downfall, as

i am not very good at math and it takes me

a seemingly longer while to understand it.

Mr. E,

Youve taught me since last year in World

History, so you know how easily i get caught

up in other things instead of schoolwork.

This year i had honestly planned to change

things, but i somehow actually ended up

making my habits even worse for a lot of my

classes. Your Psychology class was truly

one of my favorite and most interesting

classes, but even that was no match for my

unparalleled procrastination. Maybe one day

psychology will develop a cure for THAT!

haha. I only hope you  can forgive me for not being a

better student these years ive known you.

Mr. Markum,

This may be the most shameful letter i have

ever written to a teacher, and yet i feel it
must be said. I couldnt be more sorry that

i wasnt the student you deserve this year.

In class i may be alright, but i havent

taken as much initiative in my assignments

as i ought to. You have been my favorite

teacher this year, and ive learned so much

more from your class than i have in years

of other history classes. You have a truly

unique and endearing teaching style that i

sincerely wish i had shown more grattitude for.

Mrs. Bass,

You probably know me better than anyone at

this high school. Youve taught me for 3

years and seen me through many rough times.

In a lot of ways, you remind me of my own

mother, because you always really looked out

for me with all your best intentions and

made sure to scold me when you know im not

doing as well as i should. For half of this

school year, you have constantly reminded

me to keep up with my work, but, as you

know, i have a terrible habit of getting
off task; a habit i sincerely regret.

I only hope that you

can forgive me for not being the student

you deserve, or as bright and devoted as

i was my freshman year. I can never thank

you enough for everything youve taught me,

especially outside of class. You are truly

one of my greatest teachers, and im sorry.
