For most students, the moment the bell rings for summer, they never speak to their teachers again. Usually this applies to me as well, but last year, it didn't. Ms. Dirmeyer, my 7th grade Language Arts teacher, still keeps in touch with me, even though she’s not my teacher anymore. She takes interest in my writing, and has done several things to help me improve. Ms. Dirmeyer sends me emails with writing tips, along with worksheets directed towards improving my writing. She has nice things to say about my writing like "I like how..." and "It looks great, Emily.” Earlier this year, when I told her that I was applying to be my school’s correspondent for the local newspaper, she encouraged me by saying that I would be an excellent candidate.
