I have the craziest story. So last week I graduated from my school and had to leave my english teacher behind: she was the best teacher I ever had. In my entire life, I’ve had terrible English teachers, I’ve gotten A’s without even doing assignments and they didn’t check my work. So I just believed that I could get an A without even trying, when my English teacher came to the school in 2023, I believed that everything would be as usual, so I just kept on doing the same thing I always did: just finished the work so that it would be done, without really checking it. Then, she lowered my grade; I didn’t think much about it then, I just said I had to be better next semester. Then, I got a C, so I decided that I should really try harder. When I did try harder, I realized that I actually was good at writing if I actually tried: she made me realize that. And I, who have been writing poetry and short novels for so long, who previously thought that they were too bad; now realized that I actually can be good if I try my best. So a couple of months ago in English class, my teacher gave us an assignment and after I finished the assignment, I thought that this would be a perfect book idea. So when I got home that day, I started to write my own book. And last week, when I graduated I wrote her a letter saying that she made me realize that I can actually do stuff with my writing if I want to. And then she wrote one back to me, saying that she always believed in me and that I should keep on writing. So now when I know that she is in my side, I WILL publish that book.
