Dear Nelly Ivanovna,
I would like to thank You for all your work, faith in us and patience, care and attention that has been invested in us over the years. Thank You for being not only a teacher, a class mistress, but also a real second mother for us. Sometimes even our mothers did not know all the secrets that we could trust You. Of course, we didn't always understand you. Sometimes we were even angry that we got comments, suggestions or some explanations, as we felt ourselves to be adults. Only with time on, we can admit first of all to ourselves that we were often wrong. And only now we are able to evaluate all your work and contribution to each of us.
Your lessons will always be remembered. You managed to teach us to trust, to be able to forgive, to be friends, to love, to be honest and sincere, brave and strong, to go to the end, to believe in good, and most importantly, to remain in any situation a Person /a Man. By your own example You brought up kindness and honesty in us.
Excuse us for some wrong behavior and actions. We all understand that now. Thank you for everything!
We already miss school, your lessons, our trips and excursions, all the funny moments and even our homework. Perhaps we still don't fully understand that there's no way returning back to childhood, and that soon begins our adulthood, but the desire to come back and see You behind the teacher's desk will always remain.
You laid in our character a lot of positive qualities, gave a lot of right parting words! I want you to know that we realize all that perfectly well ! Good bye!
We love You!
Best wishes,
Marianna
In an ideal family, communication is the solution to all problems. Parents never yell, everything is solved calmly, and there are no quarrels. It is a family where honesty prevails and where there is no place for lie. Parents and children are very good friends, always ready to help each other, no matter what it would cost. So, in this way, we can think of the ideal family as a puzzle that is not missing any parts. But it is too good to be true. In real life in each family there are tensions, conflicts, difficulties, misunderstandings, and stress. All this takes place between spouses or between parents and children, and perfection isn't an appropriate word for those situations.
I strongly believe that there are happy families, which live in peace; there are united families always offering help and support to each other; there are rich families, which get everything they want; and there are a lot of big families in which children are really supportive and they offer a lot of respect to their parents, but it doesn't mean that this families are perfect. Happy families cannot be always happy, united families can't solve all their problems, so that it happens to quarrel sometimes, rich families have even more difficulties than the poorer ones have, and the large families are usually too poor to ensure a good education and life for their children.
So I can say with certainty that The Ideal Family doesn't exist in real life, it can be seen only in movies or advertisements where some strange persons pretend to be happy together, even if they don't even know the name of his mother, father, sister or brother. In real life not everybody can play this role.
