In honor of World Teachers' Day today, tell us about a teacher who had a positive impact on your life.

I went to great schools and was lucky enough to have a lot of great teachers. Teachers that will always stick out in my mind are Mrs. Mays and Mrs. Trompeter in particular. I had them for 3rd and 4th grade and actually, I just realized that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I want to teach 3rd or 4th grade. Mrs. Trompeter was hilarious and creative and always kept us busy with interesting projects. Mrs. Mays told funny stories and was a really caring person. I'm trying to think about teachers that I liked a lot in high school but there aren't any that stick out as being especially creative...I liked Mr. Dubois a lot because he was very funny and his Speech class was fun but he also gave a lot of helpful feedback and encouragement. Mr. Kopecky was a great art teacher and he was hilarious as well. And of course there's Mr. Huppe, who made World History somewhat of a large game, it's too bad that my school lost him because he was really something special. There were female teachers I liked too, like Mrs. Waters (who taught us a ton about English and Writing). I hope someday I can make a positive impact on the lives of my students.
