The teachers, they can point to and say, “That individual assisted me in becoming the person I am today.” For me, I have one special person that I can do that to. This individual is not only my favorite teacher, but very influential in my life. Katie Josef, my Ed Tech teacher, has shown me what true passion for the field of education looks like. I witness her upbeat personality, and get to experience the kindness she exuberates to her students on a daily basis. She drives the individuals in her class to succeed to their best ability. She inspires me to become an outstanding teacher in whatever field I choose to pursue. Mrs. J has shown me what a teacher that cares for her students truly looks like. With the love and support she shows, it is no mystery how she creates unbreakable bonds with her students- bonds that last for many years, even after a student's graduation.

I have learned a lot from you, and I would like to wish you the best of luck for years to come.

Since I have been to other schools other than East Prairie I have realized that East prairie showed, helped, and fixed my flaws. I could not ask for better help. Life honestly hits me with so many new surprises every day. I just remember being in Mrs. Bart’s third grade class and having a Arjeta tease me, and now she is my best friend. I hope that throughout my future I will keep on hitting these exciting turns. As an honest person I can say that I am a very hyper student so I want to thank all my teachers for having to put up with me and my bipolar moods. Teachers have shown me things that I didn't even know I was capable to do or achieve. My strength as a student has grown dramatically throughout these years so I thank all my teachers.
