r,I hated you when I first MET you. I hated the fact that you made me stand up STRAIGHT. I hated the way you made me wear my uniform right. I hated the way you made me speak correctly. Most of all, I hated the way that you wouldn’t accept my work unless it was the best I could do. And the best always seemed more effort than I was willing to put in.We had lots of arguments, at the start. I remember being kept in at LUNCH a lot. And despite my yelling and threats – even tears once or twice – I remember you never lost your temper. You were always patient with me. You always took the time to listen to me, whenever I wanted to be heard.I look back upon that time as so important in the development of the person that I am today. You taught me discipline. You taught me dignity. Much more than English, which was what you were supposedly TEACHING me, you taught me that I could ACHIEVE more than what I or other people thought that I was capable of. I could be a success, instead of a clown.For that lesson, I owe you so much.Thank you.Your favourite studentPuneet (14)
