Greeting to teacher

I need to write a card to one of my favorite teachers now that I'm graduating, but I really don't know what to write. Do you have any ideas+

Info: she's my biology teacher, makes everything very intesresting, launches in to stories about personal experiences every now and then (that are really fascinating), travels alot and has been almost everywhere, its because of her I'm going to continue with bio..

I just want it to be nice without being cheesy!

It's very nice of you to be so kind and considerate to your teacher- I'm sure she will be so happy to receive such a nice card.

I think that a good basic approach toward going about writing something nice and thoughtful would be to brainstorm ideas. You can try writing down some bullet-points of any qualities she has that you admire. Then think of some examples (maybe of something she said, how she inspires you, how she helped you become more interested in biology, etc.). The key is to introduce the letter with some general trait(s) you like about her, then add some support, through some of the examples you come up with. For instance, if she mentioned a particular story or experience in class, you can try pointing that out in your letter, making it clear why it means a lot to you.

A good way to wrap up the letter is to say something general, along the lines of...being fortunate to have been in her class, how you feel she was an inspiration to you, etc., something short and sweet that will leave an impression. I find that often times, the best letters/cards are well-written, well thought out, and sincere. Trust me, the ideas will start flowing once you start to think about how much she means to you as a teacher. Sometimes I just get out a blank piece of paper and jot down a few things I might want to mention, then try organizing the info. Keep in mind that you will have limited space, so try to say the most important things and keep in concise. Again, it is very nice of you to be doing this for your teacher. I wish you all the best!

Your teacher has been a role model for you. She has uplifted you and you look up to her. You have an interest in pursuing Biology because she took a subject that is generally stero-typed to be boring and enjoyed by geeks and made it interesting for you, which has shown you that Biology isn't for geeks at all and that it is received as taught. Is this what you are trying to say about your class and teacher? If so, just think about what she means to you, how the classes have helped you. Share with her the positive impact she has had on your life and your future plans of continuing in Biology. now, that's not cheesy at all, and she will appreciate it very much!

I am proud of you without even knowing you and I encourage you to continue excelling in your classes. Congrads on graduating and keep up the good work. I also respect your maturity and kindness of heart for the appreciation you have towards your teacher.
