here, Mrs. Young,
Mr. Chavez,
Mr. Bodhi,
fifth and sixth grade,
to Mr. Blake,

to Mr. Howard,
to Mr. Zarnicki,
Dr. John,
to Mrs. Alvarado,
to Gail Wills and Janna Souza,
you know Mrs. Mayhew,
to my high school humanities teacher,
Mrs. Valentine,
my kindergarten teacher who taught me how to analyze literature and to write,
who first introduced me to the magic of TV and film production,
who helped me find my voice in writing,
who encouraged me to write my first program,
who helped me figure out how to think about and what I think about so many different things in the world,
who brought so much love and joy into the classroom and demanded excellence while treating us with respect,
who helped me get over my fear of public speaking,
who gave me a book,
began my love of science and fiction,
who believed in us even when we blew everything up,
who taught me the value of telling stories to teach and listening to other people's stories,
who was such an amazing woman I named my daughter after her,
and for making us all feel special all the time.

And you were exceedingly patient with me,
for helping me discover my love for writing,
for pushing me to always be the best version of myself,
and for teaching me that I could accomplish anything I put my mind to,
for telling me I was good at math,
for making sure that I knew I could do accelerated work,
for encouraging my love of reading and writing,
for making me feel welcome in her classroom as a recent immigrant to the United States,
for inspiring me to become a kindergarten teacher,
in turn you've touched so many lives,
both your students and your students' students,
more than you'll ever know.

Thanks, Mrs. Mayhew.
Thank you, Mr. Blake.
Thank you, Mr. Chavez.
Thank you, Mr. Garbett.
Thank you, Mrs. Cordell.
Thank you, Mrs. Graham.
Thank you, Mr. Lester.

You've made a huge impact on my life and so many others.
Thank you.
