Here is your opportunity to say thank you to anyone and everyone who made you the success that you are. What would you like to say to those people?
For my teachers: thank you for taking the time to teach me the skills and knowledge I would need to know for the real world. Each teacher has also had a lot of patience with me and I find that very appreciative because to be honest, I know for a fact that it’s not easy being patient with me sometimes. If it were up to me, I would award every teacher with a metal of honor.
For my School Counselor – Mrs. Handy-Hayes: I would thank her for helping me decide which classes were destined to help improve my way of thinking. Without her, I would be choosing classes that would make me give up and earn F’s on my report cards. I am eternally grateful to her and rate her an 11/10 as a counselor! (And, she’s an excellent person to talk to daily.)
To my friends/acquaintances: thanks everyone for being in my life. We’ve shared lots of good times and memories together. And yes I know some people have had ups and downs with me, but to tell you the truth I consider whomever I crossed paths with to be essential to the duration of time I spent in William Penn. I will miss you all when graduation comes.
