Month of Thanksgiving 2018, Day 9

Today Mr. Sean is thankful for

The teachers and professors that taught him

A nearly constant presence in my life for 20 years (if we include all my preschool days), teachers and professors have been there to fill my brain with knowledge. The preschool and elementary school teachers in particular deserve special kudos as they had to be able to teach math, language arts, science, and social studies while other teachers were able to focus all their energy on fewer subjects. Though I'm also thankful for the teachers who did specialize in particular subjects as they were able to build up on the general knowledge planted by earlier teachers. I know I already made a post earlier this year that was appreciative of teachers and professors, but I figured they could use more thanks.

Teacher Appreciation Day 2018: A Long Look Back

Over the past nearly twenty years, I have interacted with many teachers in various forms of schooling. No matter how little or how large their impact was on me, I appreciate each and every last one of them. I apologize if I forget anybody as I have to rack my brains for twenty years worth of memories and facts. Thank you everyone for your dedication, hard work, and devotion to your students and I'm sorry if I ever gave you a hard time. If I missed any teachers that I have been a student under, please let me know in the comments. Also apologies if any names were misspelled or if any names have changed.

Special Mentions:

Even though these people were not my regular teachers, they still had an impact on my education, so thank you every single last substitute teacher that I have ever had, too many to name, but all dependable when a teacher has to be out for any reason. Thank you also to the various student teachers that I met during my high school band days at Meade.

Like I said, if I left anybody out or spelled anybody's name incorrectly, I am very sorry. To all the teachers, thank you!
