Oh sure.. Do you want to start Moezy-Sempai?
I'd love to! Ok, I have to tell this story before I tell who influenced me most. In the third grade I had a teacher that treated me like I was an idiot. She would humiliate me before the entire class, and didn't show any consideration to my feelings. I couldn't stand her. Because she treated me with such disrespect I wouldn't listen to her and I refused to do my homework. I was failing and I shouldn't have moved on to the 4th grade, but she passed me just so she wouldn't have me for another year.
Going into the 4th grade I kept this belief that all teachers were mean and didn't like children. I was very bitter and angry, but I ended up with a teacher who loved children and furthermore, loved to help them learn. She noticed that I didn't like school and because of this, my grades were suffering.
She worked it out with my parents that I would get private tutoring lessons from her after school. She was kind, patient, and regarded my feelings with the upmost respect. She made learning fun again! With her help I was eventually able to make the honor roll! All A's!
She was the best teacher I ever had, and it's because of her that I want to become a teacher, and I hope that I will be as good a teacher to my students as she was to me.
