<p>I will be staring college this fall..
In my senior year (in high school) I met a great teacher
who gave me a great outlook on what college is going to be like
(She was one of my AP teachers..)
I feel that if it wasn't for her, I would be so much unprepared and worried about college and my future..
so I started to make something that I could give to her as a gift.
and I was going to mail it or ask my friend to give to her for me.. (since I will be in college by then..)
but I got my AP score, and I found out that I did really bad on it.. :(
and now, I'm kind of embarrassed(?) to give the gift to her..
I really don't think I could meet another teacher like her, and I want to say thank you, but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea since she might be disappointed by my score..
Should I still give my gift, and say thanks you her? </p>
<p>(I know that this is something that I should decide, but I just want to know what you guys think.. any advise will be appreciated..)</p>
<p>Still give her the gift. Even if you didn’t do as well as you hoped you would on the exam, she (seemed) still to be a good teacher, and in my experience, those are pretty rare.</p>
<p>I once had this awesome English professor in my freshman year of college; he went out of his way to help me out and wrote recommendations for me for internships, at the end of the year, I slid a thank you and a huge pack of M&Ms (he spent the entire semester talking about his obsession with M&Ms) in his mailbox.</p>
<p>Sometimes just saying “thanks” can be a big boost for someone.
Go ahead and give it to her. I’m sure she will appreciate it.</p>
<p>i’d give it to her. academics are NOT everything, truly. something you’ll probably discover. she helped you out in a way that was more important. say thanks</p>
<p>In my junior year, I took AP US History, did great in the class, but got a 1 on the AP test. I don’t think the teacher thought any less of me during my senior year whenever I’d run into him.</p>
<p>Give her the gift, she’ll be happier to know that she had a positive impact on your life than she would be if it were just your academic record she helped out.</p>
<p>Here’s another person urging you to give her the gift. Whether she’s disappointed with you or not is beside the point, since you want to thank her for giving you “a great outlook on what college is going to be like” and alleviating your worries. She will be touched that she made such a positive difference in your life. Besides, test scores aren’t everything. Perhaps you truly weren’t ready for the AP test, but that doesn’t mean that you didn’t also learn a lot from her class.</p>
<p>Also, I think these kinds of gifts are best given in person, so do it yourself if possible. (Whatever you do, just don’t ask your friend to do it for you.)</p>
give the gift.</p>
