A Personal Letter
Dear Mr. H,
Words can’t say
How much you have done
For all of your students
But especially for me.
You answer my questions
Earnestly and thoughtfully
You congratulate me when I do well
But don’t hold onto my failures.
We have known each other a long time
4 years to be precise
The entirety of high school math
Has been learned through you.
You’ve seen me at my best
You’ve seen me when I’m weak
You’ve never given up on me
Helped me to get where I am.
Throughout the entire school
My favorite room is the math room
I talk about school and about life
You listen and give advice.
You wrote my letter of recommendation
And offered me guidance
Calmed my insecurities
Believed in me
Thanks to your presence
I have benefited more than I could have ever dreamed.
Sincerely, Your Student
