Why is Kelly thankful? Dear Mrs Thompson, I want to thank you for being my teacher. You took the time to help me, although you were so busy. Your classes always made me happy.

You encouraged me and made science lessons fun, and slowly, I grew more confident. I also want to thank you for being kind to me. You helped me a lot, especially after my grandmother passed away. I couldn’t talk about my feelings to anybody until you sat with me during lunch that day. You listened to me and talked with me so that I felt much better. That day will always remain in my mind. Thank you so much for being not only my teacher but also my friend.
