To My Favorite Teacher

DEED OF GRATITUDE

According to the school policy, all graduating students are obliged to send a letter to their most favorite teacher in the university. Whereas, the said letter shall be presented to the teacher as a form of gratitude for being the person with the greatest impact in the student’s development in his four years of stay in the university.

I, Michael Arevalo, a graduating student from the Business Management Honor’s Program and the maker of this some sort of instrument, address this letter to Ms. Ma Christina de Los Santos, my teacher in all of my law subjects. This is because of the latter’s amazing way of teaching, good attitude towards work and fairness in dealing with students. Also, Ms. Leck-Leck is able to bring out the potentials of her students by challenging them to utter law-based explanations in the “First and Second Round of Calling of Attendance”.

Sec. HP4. Maam Leck was chosen since she was the only teacher with the following unforgettable traits:

(a) That she arrives on time and is systematic, particularly in arranging chairs and cleaning up the rooms prior to class discussion;
(b) That she is able to maintain class discipline and attention;
(c) That she constructs fair and challenging exams;
(d) That she promotes honesty;
(e) That she is so dedicated towards her teaching even if she is suffering from severe recurrent, throbbing, very painful headache;
(f) That she is patient and self-controlled;
(g) That she blushes when the class laughs at her jokes;
(h) That she feels sorry if she gave you a 95;
(i) That she has three white board marker which often run out of ink;
(j) That she misses her ex-boyfriend, Hector S. De Leon;
(k) That she makes you her sole student when you’re late (you have to answer all her questions for the remaining time);
(l) That she lets you attend the Legal Management Scrimmage Debate as an audience but gives you the proposition in pronto and lets you join as a stand-in;
(m) That she lets you memorize “a negotiable instrument must be (1) In writing and signed by the maker or drawer; (2) containing an unconditional promise or order to pay a sum certain in money; (3) payable on demand or at a fixed or determinable future time; (4) payable to order or bearer; and uhmmm….what’s the last one??
Sec. HP4A. The maker, Michael Arevalo and the addressee, Ms. Ma. Cristina Delos Santos has no capacity to indorse this Deed of Gratitude because the latter is unique and her recognition is duly taken for her alone;

Sec. HP4B. That the addressee will not be compelled to pay any amount to the maker because of the latter’s positive statements seen on Sec. HP4. Although, if the addressee insists, payment shall be accepted;

Sec. HP4C. The maker wishes the addressee good health and happy love life. The delay of the addressee’s prince charming is caused by a fortuitous event. The maker, however, believes that the guy is on his way.

Sec. HP4D. Under no circumstance, the addressee shall not and will not dispose of this deed of gratitude. Violation of such would mean a year of terrible migraine;

Sec. HP4E. The maker will never forget the addressee not unless the former will have an Alzheimer’s disease. Violation of such would mean no snacks for one day;

Sec. HP4F. That the addressee will keep in touch with the maker through his mobile number: 09164389365 and/or email: charlie_marvel@yahoo.com.

Sec. HP4G. The maker says THANK YOU MA’AM LECK and that comes from the bottom of his heart.

Signed this 16th day of February, 2008 at Arevalo’s Residence, Concepcion Pequeña, Naga City.
