<p>Hello all,
This is my first time posting in this forum, but that’s besides the point. The school year is drawing to an end and I would like to write some thank you cards for some teachers who wrote references for my application. I know I’ve been a slacker, but I’m planning on giving gifts as well. I was just wondering just what I should write. I’ve hit a writer’s roadblock and I can’t think of a thing to write, other than the expression of my undying gratitude…yada yada yada. Thank you for your help in advance.</p>
<p>If you can personalize such notes with a few sentences about what meant the most to you about your interactions with this teacher, or the kinds of things you learned from each of them that you’ll take into the future with you, that would certainly be appreciated.</p>
<p>It might help if you think about why you chose these specific teachers to write your recs.</p>
<p>You might want to include the benefits of the references and a quick note about where you are going - for example, “Thank you for writing my college recs. (continue on w/Mootmom’s suggestions.) I’m going to Carleton in the fall as a chemistry major, and am very excited to take philosophy courses as well. Your class, especially the unit on Plato, instilled in me a love of philosophy and logic.” Go on a bit, and expand upon some of what I have here.</p>
<p>“You must have said some very nice things about me because I got accepted! Thank you!” :)</p>
<p>If they were sitting next to you what would you say?</p>
