When I was your age, I watched a lot of TV shows about school. I watched Saved By The Bell, The Secret World of Alex Mack and Boy Meets World. I always wondered what it would be like to be a teacher watching this show because I could easily relate to the students; I was one! When I was a 10th grader at Riverwood High School I had a teacher who taught me much more than just Language Arts. He taught me about who I was and about what I wanted to do with my life. I had a coach at Riverwood who taught me more than just track and field; he taught me to love something. Since 10th grade, I've always wanted to be a teacher and a coach. I made it my personal goal and mission to become a teacher and a coach. It was my dream at 15 years old and I am now living that dream with you. You were my 15th year in education...Thank you for being so special.
I always enjoyed watching TV shows "about school" as a kid and I remember the last scene of the show Boy Meets World...I find it fitting to leave you with this and for the last time; Be Good...
