Thank-you essay from English student to teacher wins regional award

Delta intermediate student Kileigh Kane wrote the following article. In the competition of Barnes and Noble My Favorite Teacher, David Rockower was chosen as her favorite teacher. "I am delighted that this prize has acquired all the entries in this area, he and my other teachers were really helpful."

You are one of the best teachers I have ever seen. In the past few months, you have helped me become a writer. You should not write only for homework, but told me that you should write for yourself. You make me feel very nice about me.

Last year, as I always liked, I liked English, but my paper is always something missing. This year when I met you, I figured out what it was - the teacher thought that I am willing to help me improve my sentences. My sentence is one step forward. You helped me in many ways. You teach me new tips and tricks every day to make me a better writer. I am very grateful to everything you did to help me succeed this year's writing. If you are not my English teacher, I do not know if I am going to write.

It was not when I finished my homework in class now, because I was bored at home and not doing anything. This is because I'm very excited about what I write. You have influenced me in many ways. Now I always want to write. Whenever I come up with a story idea, I want to write them on paper and write down the pages and pages as soon as possible. As a writer, you have had a huge impact on me. I write now myself now. I write for homework, but I also like to write stories to have fun. I like to write more when I am young. With your help, I gradually noticed that I wanted to write the rest of my life. I would like to write a story within a few years, both for myself and for other people. I am grateful to you for giving me such an influence.

Last year I was very pleased with the story I wrote, but my teacher makes me sad because they said they might be better. After writing a big article about one of your courses this year, I was very confident about my achievement. You made me feel better about what I wrote and you said to me all the good things in the six page article. You did not point out the mistakes I made when sharing with my classroom You told me what part of your favorite articles and why you like it. I have not been satisfied with my sentence before. I am particularly grateful that you changed the point of what I am looking for when I am writing.

You showed me a way to express yourself through writing and writing your own through writing. I have not given much gratitude to my teacher in my life. Thank you for telling me your favorite content and sharing your enthusiasm with the students.

On the afternoon of the award ceremony, students and teachers gathered at the auditorium of Shawnee High School. Award-winning teachers are announced as students who recommend teachers and write award-winning papers. Then the students stand on stage and the winning teacher stands next to me, so I read the articles I wrote. This is a very emotional show as I know the meaning of the winning teacher for the teaching students. This is one of the highest honors teachers can get at school.

Local award-winning teachers were awarded for the local event of Barnes & Noble in the spring, where they received a special award for their achievement and additional recognition and awards from the community. Students who wrote an award-winning essay or poetry will also be awarded a certificate of commendation and will win the award ceremony.
