A World Class Teacher

Dear Mrs. Stafford,
As a ninth grader entering high school, I was excited to be taking home
Economics, but knew nothing about you as a teacher. As it turned out,
you were stern, dedicated and very talented. Did I appreciate you
then...probably not, but after you and I both switched schools, I ended
up with you teaching me biology, world history, more home economics and
family planning. As a senior, I became your student assistant...then you
got sick from a surgery gone wrong and I was very worried about you. As
it turned out, you got well and came back to school and after I
graduated I never saw you again. Then one day while working my way
through college at a restaurant in Greenville, N.C., I saw you again.
You were as glad to see me as I was to see you, even reminding me you
kept the collie statues I had bought for you while you were sick in the
hospital. We have not seen each other since, but I want you to know just
how much you meant to me and still do. You made me work harder than I
wanted, excel more than I thought I could and to this day, you are one
of the most influential people in my life. Thank you so much for being
the best teacher I experienced in high school or college. Mrs. Stafford,
you are a very exceptional human being and I REALLY appreciate your
efforts in my life.
