A/N: Start of a new little chain of stories to help me finish off February. You'll pick it up soon enough. Enjoy!

February 21st, 2010 – Rachel's Letter

Dear Mr. Schuester,

I want to thank you for the excellent high school experience given to me through your guiding hand. You provided us with what Spanish we now know (which will prove very useful for me to have successful conversation with my future fans who speak that language), and on top of that you gave us Glee. It doesn't take a genius to tell which one was more important to us. You taught us some excellent singing and dancing skills, although in my part it was more of a practice than a learning situation, and you gave us the home-away-from-home I feel we may have all needed. We all had something in common, and that was what gave us a New Direction (that was a play on words, in case you didn't get it.).

We are eternally grateful for what you've done for us. Me especially, I think. You taught me the basic social skills I seem to lack; something to bond with my peers over, something vital to the way my life has formed. You gave me friends. We all love you, like a second father. Or, in my case, third.

My first Broadway show is in November. I'll send two tickets for you and Ms Pillsbury. Or should I say Mrs. Schuester?

Yours Sincerely,

Rachel Berry *
