Jones made me think about how I found out I liked design. I thought about how I want to go into graphic design in college and make a career out of it, I thought about it more and more, and how I ended up deciding that. I knew I had not been stressing out about my future like I had been and I tried to do something new and when I found out I was good at design I stuck with it. He made me realize that certain things can help me find a way to know what I’m going to do with my life. Ideas would be expressed in time, like the idea of trying design for me, and one idea will stick with

“His work ethic is unbelievable,” said Michael Frumkin, dean of UCF’s College of Health and Public Affairs. “His scholarly productivity in the last two years since he has been here has just been extraordinary.”

He tells Walton his unbelievable tale starting with his youth. Where as a young boy he had an amazing childhood, loving family and unending love for learning.

He embodied individuality through Jerry, and channeled a sinister evil through an administrator and a regular bully. He even included the deeply sexual thoughts that all teenaged boys share. And after all the slander from critics he didn't apologize for giving teens and parents what they needed to hear, rather than what was convenient Instead of the candy coated version of life, he gave is reality and truth. Despite the disapproval he received from parents and school boards, he was willing to stand by the chocolate war in order to convey what really goes on behind the walls of a high school. By merely telling a story of nonconformity to students across America, he disturbed the university,and he defended his truth to the

Jones is nice is because she is friendly. She is friendly because she lets strangers into her home without having to get to know them first. For instance, “When she got to her door, she dragged the boy inside, down the hall into a large kitchenette-furnished room at the rear of the house.” This shows that she is not afraid of anyone and can bring any stranger into her home, good or bad. Another reason Mrs. Jones is friendly is that she doesn’t want to make others feel uncomfortable by asking personal questions.

Mike Wedge was my high school science teacher and had a huge influence in my life both academically and personally. He was the person that made me fall in love with the science field and opened my eyes to my passion and desire for learning. Not all my classmates felt that way about him though. Other students considered him to be an extremely hard teacher, who chose favorites, and was unwilling to help students who were failing his classes. If I think about it, all of these are true to an extent; but for me they were never a hindrance to my education, but on the contrary, a point of motivation to prove myself and succeed. This is the background for the relationship him and I have built over the last years; an academic foundation with me admiring him as an educator and him admiring my willingness to work and ask the tough questions to better myself.

He is now a man of vast knowledge since he has learned so much over the years, now many people from the whole community come over to ask him questions or to get advice from him, he generally had the answers for all their problems.

Mr. K was my fourth grade teacher and he was such a positive influence on my life. He helped me when I had trouble picking out books. He would help me look on the inside and really get to know the book better. This helped me with people and social skills too.

Over the last 17 years Jerry Collins has been one of the most influential people in my life, he has been a major mentor and roll model for me. He was very kind and loving to everybody he met. He welcomed everyone with smile as bright as the stars above.

Jones had an extensive amount of trust, but she also was a very giving person. For example, as stated above, she let the kid enter her house to get himself cleaned up and something to eat. For most people that would be the last thing on their mind after an attempted robbery, but with Mrs. Jones it was a normal act. “Uh-hum! Your face is dirty.

Judy was an amazing person, she was a strong, joyful, hard-headed, stubborn, and wonderful woman. She is the reason I am even considering this career at all. Judy was compassionate and loving towards each and every student. She truly believed in them no matter what their disability might have been. She taught them how to cope in the real
