A Letter of Gratitude for You(Teachers)

"Good morning Ma'am, Sir" that is the phrase we heard from some students to their teachers when they see them entering the gate of the school. Sometimes, the teachers greeted each other as a sign of respect especially if that teacher has a higher position like head teachers and administrative staff. Some students helped their teachers by carrying his or her bag and others.

Inside the classroom, the teacher would start discussing his or her lesson, experimenting an activity, teaching a dance step, singing a rhythmical song and start playing instrument. But there are times that we let him or her angry for the reason that we did not clean, we did not attend his or her class, we are not listening while he or she was discussing and worst, we really don't want that teacher. But, have we think why they keep on doing that? Maybe, they care about us, they love us and most, we are their second children so they want us to be successful someday. We are really lucky not because we have everything but because they are with us for eight hours teaching, guiding and caring us instead of their own children. Even though, their salary is very low and it is not enough for their families, still they are here with us. They are here sacrificing themselves because it is their responsibility to share knowledge and information what they have learned, share an innumerable discoveries they have found and above all, they are responsible enough in shaping our future. For me as a student, these are the best moments I've been proud and shared of to other people. I considered my teachers' sacrifices as best and memorable moments. It is more important than the bonding we had during classes, vacant periods, seminars and others.

As an exchange on what they have done, I would just want to say, THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS for their sacrifice. I will strive and focus in my studies and I will do my best to accomplish what I have dreamed and continue to be a responsible student as what you have shown to me.
