I'm Thankful for my Education by Andrea

I'm Thankful for my Education by Andrea - November 2015 Scholarship Essay

I am thankful for many different parts of my education. I have had the fortunate opportunity to grow up in schools with wonderful faculty, students, and learning environment. Not every child has as good of luck as I do, which I feel very fortunate about. If I had to pick one thing that I’m most thankful for it would be my teachers throughout school.
I have always had wonderful teachers. My teachers have always been wonderful role models, someone I can look up to, and admire. Since I was really little, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I believe this has to do with the amazing teachers I have always had in my life. They have taught me the correct way to learn, respect others, and to always try and be my best. I can’t thank my teachers enough for all the things they have done for me throughout my life. My teachers, one in specific, went over and beyond a teacher’s responsibility to a student. She helped me become who I am today. She boosted my confidence, made me feel involved, gave me life lessons not only in the classroom, but also outside of school. I am forever changed because of her. Without teachers, children wouldn’t be able to learn, grow to their fullest potential, and shine in the real world. Teachers don’t get enough credit for all that they do; I wish people would come to realize how important they are.
