My sister is graduating tomorrow and I just finished writing her toast to the teachers, no one else is home and I need some feedback so please give it a read and tell me what you think.
They're our confidants, they're our mentors, they're our substitute parents. They are the glue that holds Holy Name Of Mary Academy together. Without the care and support of the wonderful teachers I toast here today we could not possibly have made it to this point in our lives. They did not simply fill our heads with facts, instead they taught us to think for ourselves. No matter the obstacles we could always count on them to help us through the troubled times and to give us that inspiring speech when we were less than motivated. And today I would like to leave them with some words of wisdom to consider when they are in need of some inspiration :
A hundred years from now it will not matter what your bank account held, the sort of house you lived in, or the kind of car you drove, but the world may be different because you were important in the life of a child.
