A Thank You Letter...

Dear Art Teachers of Ridge High School,

Four years of hard work and this is where I am. I'm on my way to college. I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all that you did for me during my four years at Ridge. I first want to say without you I wouldn't be on the path that I am on now. If you never told me that I wouldn't get anywhere with an art career I prob would be sitting thinking about other careers to peruse. Instead by you telling me that I was no good, or giving me unfair grades, I gained the much needed confidence and drive which has lead me to attend one of the best art colleges in the country. Part of being a teacher means that you don't put students down, but instead bring them up. But instead by you thinking that you were bringing me down you brought me up without knowing. I would like to say there were three or four of the the overpaid art teachers that I didn't mind and did help me to work to a dream I have always wanted. On the other hand a few others were of no help and made my time in class less enjoyable. So I just want to finish by sending my thanks to you for all your useless teaching and help that I didn't receive in my time in school with you. And one day when I get the job that I have dreamed about for years, we'll see who is laughing at who.

With Much Love and Appreciation,
Justin Martin
