My Favorite Teacher

A teacher is a person who inspires and encourages us to strive for greatness, live to our fullest potential and see the best in ourselves. They are strong-willed individuals who we admire and aspire to become. We learn from them. We learn through their commitment, integrity, and perseverance. A teacher can influence many important aspects of a student’s life. They help shape a student’s personality, morality and provide them with the tools necessary to take on their future endeavors. “A good teacher can teach you something that you will remember for a day, but a great teacher will teach you something that you will remember for the rest of your life.” I was fortunate enough to find all of these qualities in my Army JROTC instructor, First Sergeant Navarra.

Has someone ever made you feel welcome, taught you life lessons that would be helpful to your upcoming life, or someone that taught you something in a fun way so you actually liked learning? Someone like a teacher? A teacher is a person in our life who provides many important things including a good education. A teacher means a lot to his or her students. During the six hours a day during the 5 day a week can really impact a student's life. And I can only think of one teacher that really impacted my life- Mr. Miller.

I was extremely lucky to have amazing teachers throughout my schooling. However, one teacher that went above and beyond would have to be Mr. Sierra, my advising counselor and teacher in high school. Mr. Sierra possessed many characteristics that made him a great teacher. He always encouraged me to do my best and taught me never to settle for ‘just okay’. His advice has really resonated with me and is something that I have applied to my life in all aspects. A great teacher like Mr. Sierra, is someone who guides, encourages, and during this same process challenges

During my adolescences I encountered a selected few of good teachers and many bad ones. The bad ones that I have encounter were those that had one student(me) missing the lesson in order to always help a foreign student that did not speak English and needed help to understand what was going on. I only agreed to help because I was a talkative child and it was an excuse to make a new friend and talk during class. In my years of

Recently I enrolled myself in one of the most challenging classes in my entire high school, AP US History (APUSH). Even though it’s been a struggle to keep up with everything in the class, I still know that because of this class I now have having a better understanding of life. My APUSH teacher has not only lectured my class about history but he also taught us life lessons every once in awhile. Throughout the year my teacher had us read books that have inspired him in his life in hope that we will take something away with us before going off on our own in the world. We read books like The Energy Bus by and The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrew,two books that teach people how to keep positive, make the right decisions, and be successful. My teacher

My favorite teacher, Mrs. Messina, was awesome in many ways. She was kind and was very considerate.She did not give me lots of homework. She still found a way to fully teach us. I also thought she was nice and considerate because she sometimes let us have naps and food.

The best teacher I ever had was a high school history teacher name Donald Langford. Mr. Langford was always there for his students. Most days during his preparation period, students could be found with him either getting help in school, or advice on some issue they were having. He was a “no nonsense” kind of teacher who could always go right to the problem with an accurate solution. His classes were engaging and it never seemed like we were being forced to learn. He was able to make understanding of the subject easy. He classes were comfortable, upbeat, and always

The one teacher that will always have a enormous impact on my future and how I teach is Mrs. Moss. I had the opportunity to job shadow her a couple years back and it was an unforgettable experience. When the students were in other classes, I got to ask her questions that also helped me get an understanding of how hard she worked. She told me about the good parts of teaching, the negative parts of teaching, what was hard, what was easy, and we talked about some of her past experinces. This opened my eyes to see that not everyday in the classroom is sunshine and butterflies however, she showed me that no matter the day it is the teachers job to make it great. You (the teacher) are possibly one of the first few faces they see in the morning, your comments and gestures may influence how their entire day

I had the most wonderful teacher. She was kind and had a very disciplinary attitude. Her name was Mrs. Viola. She was very tall and had curly hair. She had that motherly aura that seemed to appeal to me. She would always make us use our manners moreover, not using them was her pet peeve. Every time we would ask to use the bathroom we would have to say, “May I use the bathroom” not “Can I use the bathroom”. Her husband was one of the janitors. Hopefully one day I will go back there and visit her. After we were done with a test we would always be allowed to play in stations like Legos or draw. My favorite topic in second grade was math It was so easy the way she explains

My favorite teachers were always hands down the ones that used Love and Logic. Not only did I have a support system but I was learning how to be independent and make my own choices with a little bit of guidance.

Choosing a favorite teacher is fairly difficult when one puts into account all the types of teachers they have known, all of them are important. Teachers are the second most important people in our lives, right after our parents. Teachers are persuasive and have the power to build a child up from an immature student to become a responsible adult; or they can completely and utterly crush a students hopes and dreams.

In my whole school career there has only been one teacher who I thought was the best for me and to me, one teacher that I thought that I could always look up to and literally, he is a tall gentlemen. My teacher is Mr. Scott Gems from Warsaw High School of Warsaw, Missouri and he is who I appreciate the most for my school career.

For some students finding a good teacher happens on a rare occasion. Throughout the years I was going to school from elementary to now in my second year in college. I have meet all kinds of teachers. There are those who are good and some are bad. I call them “poor quality teacher” because they are the ones who accept poor quality of work. These teachers typically allow students to just pass the class without putting hard work into it. Also poor quality teacher put in less “teaching” so as a result most students they teach who advance to a higher course find it very difficult to pass the next class they are taking. Fortunately, I happened to meet a good quality teacher. It was the beginning of spring 2016 I was now taking a prerequisite for one of my nursing class. The class I was taking was called “Human Physiology”. At first I didn’t really know how the class would go. What I heard from the previous students who took him said not to take him because he wasn’t a good teacher. It turns out the instructor I was taking for human physiology name Mr. Smarty, was one the best teacher I’ve come across throughout the years I’ve been in school. Although he was dub by most of the students who previously took him as a bad teacher. I find Mr. Smarty to be a good teacher because he was respectful, inspiring and creative.

I had a teacher in high school that began each class with a funny story or a random fact. We, as students, looked forward to attending to his classes just to know what he had brought for us that day. He was a stern teacher, but everyone appreciated him because he showed an interest in us enjoying his classes.

I have always liked almost all of my teachers. I could not say that I have a definite favorite teacher. I have learned many different life lessons from my teachers growing up. I would say that the teachers that I have enjoyed the most have been the ones that were hard on me, and would not let me take the easy route. Of course I did not think of them as my favorite during the year, but afterwards was when I started to appreciate and thank them for what they did for me. I could say that all of my teachers have taught me many life lessons, but Mr. Knapp, Mrs. Sturgeon, and Mr. Price taught me lessons that stood out to me.
