Tears in the eyes with the letter of gratitude from a former student from the mountainous region of Nghe An to his teachers

A short letter of gratitude to a teacher after nearly 20 years of meeting again was posted by a teacher and is being shared on social networks with emotional and choking emotions.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Huyen, a Literature teacher in Nghe An - the person who shared the letter, said that this was a letter from her classmates from the 1996-2000 junior high school class sent to the teachers of Chi Khe Junior High School, Con Cuong, Nghe An. Recently, after nearly 20 years, at the suggestion of some people, old friends from different places, gathered together to express their gratitude to the teachers.

Dear teachers!

18 years - a long journey in a person's life. And now, we understand that it is too long, too cruel for a class of students to return to visit their teachers and old school.

We are still the same. Still naughty children who never grow up when relying on the tolerance, love, and sincerity of our teachers. Class 9A, 1996 - 2000, we consider ourselves a class of students with naughty students, bringing a lot of trouble to our teachers and the school.

The whole class used to "rebel" by skipping class, not listening to lectures, finding every way to oppose and challenge, secretly throwing stones and sticking notes behind teachers' backs...

We are holding an apology from you!

Many of our classmates were "threatened" to stand at the flagpole, change classes, or be expelled.... But no, our teachers helped us overcome that teenage crisis with perseverance, patience, and acceptance, not with punishment.

We are keeping your word of thanks!

Secondary school teachers are the ones who help students go through the most difficult stages of adulthood, are the ones who ferry their students the most love and affection... but are also the ones most easily "forgotten" by their students.

We have been keeping our teachers' words of love and gratitude for nearly 20 years.

All of this, we cannot send in one meeting, even less can we send in a few words.

But we would like to thank the teachers for coming here with us today. So that we can always remind ourselves that, on our journey to adulthood, in the life of every student... there are always teachers.

Teachers choked up at students' gratitude ceremony after nearly 20 years.

Ms. Huyen confided that when they invited the teachers to attend the gratitude ceremony, many teachers burst into tears because it was the first time in their lives that a class of former students came back to express their gratitude to their teachers. One teacher even held the invitation letter to her chest while sleeping...

Most of the teachers who taught at that time were retired, many were old, some were sick and bedridden... Her classmates at that time were very mischievous, playing pranks, thinking back I felt sorry for the teachers and avoided the impulsive youth.

"We are very sorry that it took us such a long time to return to our old school to meet and thank our teachers... For a long time, students mainly held class reunions and expressed their gratitude in high school, but did not remember much about their middle school teachers. Meanwhile, these are the teachers who work the hardest and are under the most pressure because students at this age are very rebellious," Ms. Huyen shared.

At the same time, the young teacher also advised that if possible, please visit your old teachers. Teachers are old and weak, what they need most is the love of their former students.

When the letter of gratitude was shared on social media, many people's eyes were filled with tears. Many teachers saw their own image and wishes in it, and many students also choked up, "wanting to go back to their old school to visit their teachers immediately."

Le Thanh An, a student in Ho Chi Minh City, said that her class had only met her old high school class before. After reading the letter, she is calling on her friends to hold a class reunion this Tet, a reunion of the middle school teachers. Because she misses them so much, is so attached to them, the teachers are so loving and tolerant... but when they graduate, not many people remember their teachers.
