An old student remembers on my special day!


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,
