Most Significant Teacher


The honest truth is that I cannot pin point just one teacher that made a difference in my life. Growing up, I challenged the Gifted and Talented test and was moved schools due to my enrollment in the GT program. All my teachers helped me succeed. They challenged us to new and better opportunities that eventually helped me succeed and reach my goals. I still recall to this day that our team of teachers that handled our classes would stay all hours of the day to plan for the following 6 weeks. I used to be in master minds and my teachers would stay every day after class to help tutor students that may have needed extra help. I used to stay, so that I would get ahead in my accelerated reader. My fifth grade teacher was Mrs. Haught. She was an amazing teacher that pushed our fifth grade class beyond our limits. That year was the first year that we began changing classes in fifth grade and she helped us transition and guided us through her classroom management skills. The teachers prepared us for what was in store for us, “Middle School.” So I cannot say that I had only one significant teacher, but I had many. I learned because of my tecahers, they guided me in the right direction and I will forever be grateful.

  1. You are very fortunate to have had that experience. I am sure you have seen some students with a not so fortunate experience. I believe your experiences will follow you when you become a teacher and inspire those same teaching qualities to your students.
