“Sonnet for an Unforgettable Teacher”

When I began your class I think I knew
The kind of challenges you’d make me face,
You gave me motivation to pursue.

The best, and to reject the commonplace
Your thinking really opened up my mind.
With wisdom, style and grace, you made me see,
That what I’d choose to seek, I’d surely find;
You shook me out of my complacency.

I thank you now for everything you’ve done;
What you have taught me I will not outgrow.
Your kind attention touched my mind and heart;
In many ways that you will never know.
I will remember you my whole life through;
I wish that all my teachers were like you.
