Dear Miss,
I’ve never been so happy by just watching someone’s post.
The smile on your face gives a feeling to forget everything and just smile in
your happiness with you.
I still remember the day when you entered grade 8 as our
English teacher, the day when you shared the idea of awarding “Student of the
Month”. I remember how I used to try to do my best in everything in your
class. I remember when my marks dropped drastically; everyone else scolded for
not studying well and not scoring good marks, they even told me that I would
ruin my father’s name in society. It was only you and Seetu Miss who asked,
“What’s going on? Is everything fine? How are you feeling these days?”
I remember coming to the teachers’ room and crying my heart
out. I remember you saying, “It’s okay to cry, you’ll feel light”. That day,
everyone in my class bullied me saying, “Eww! You’re such a cry baby!”. I
always tried to show others that I’m strong enough to not cry in front of
everyone. I still remember the day when you were angry with me ( for not having
completed my assignment). I even remember what you said at that time,” I’d
expected better from you. What’s happening?"
Miss! remember first day of
School Leaving Certificate exam? I was so happy when I finished my English
paper and the only person that came in my mind was you. =You were standing
at the gate because they didn’t allow anyone to come inside. You asked me how
my exam was from afar and I said "sooo good”. You hugged me and were
clapping and jumping in joy.
Despite having a busy schedule, you helped us so
much in applying to United World College. Though we didn’t make it, it was a
great learning experience. Ma'am, you’ve changed the lives of hundreds of
people including me and I know you will keep on doing this, you will keep on
sharing all the positivity that you have in you. I’ve never been able to
express how lucky I feel to have you in my life. I don’t even have words to
tell you every single thing that I want you to hear but one thing that I would
like to say today and always is this: You have been a great inspiration to me.
I feel so blessed and fortunate that our paths crossed. I got a sister, a
friend and a teacher when I got you, miss! I love you!!! I don’t say this always
and I don’t even know why I don’t do that but all I want to say at the moment
is:
Thank you so much for everything you did! Thank you for not just fulfilling
the duties of being a teacher but also being a friend when needed. I really
hope that you keep on smiling this way; today and always and I wish you a
wonderful married life!
Sincerely Yours,
