One other interesting fact about you- My name is a song written by the 70’s singer Donovan (My dad is a retired teacher/musician). Very beautiful song, but very DEPRESSING!

A story about an educator that left an impression on you- I had some really great middle school teachers. My homeroom teacher was just a fabulous, vibrant, positive man. I do not know how anyone could ever hate that guy!! He was a great example on how to interact with kids.
My english teacher was awesome! Her personality has been, by far, the best I have seen in a teacher. Her enthusiasm for the subject and life in general was contagious! I got to see her at the my old high school that coincidentally I student taught at and 18 years later she is still that way!!!!
I once had a high school teacher who taught me all the ways not to be. That to me was just important as the teachers I did love and respect. Thanks for reading!!
