As it is teacher appreciation week,
I want to thank a former teacher of mine for helping shape who I am today. I
know not to make this some sob story or heartfelt letter, because she never was
one for those type of things. But I would like to thank Sarah Geyer for what
she helped me accomplish in just the two years I had her as my journalism
teacher. Coming into journalism, I was not really sure how to write a news
article, or how to be a journalist in the slightest. Now I don’t know anything
else I’d rather be. She sat me down and though the class could be a bit
chaotic, made myself and other newbies learn the basics. I remember being
terrified for my first interview but her telling me how it was something every
journalist learned to do and I would catch on eventually. The class was nothing
less of intimidating but she made us all feel at home, and though we were
students, we could act like ourselves around her. Mrs. Geyer was the first
teacher to make me feel comfortable with my writing, even though it took a lot
of editing to finally improve it. She helped me through some of my darkest
times my freshmen year, and I will be forever thankful to her for that. Thank
you Mrs. Geyer, hope you are well.
