Teachers are a very important part of our children’s lives. I can remember several teachers who stand out as amazing and whom really influenced me growing up. One in particular was my College Prep Reading and Writing teacher, Mr. Bergan. I never really knew what work was until I took his class. It was homework overload but I learned so much more in that year than I did in the previous three years of high school English. He pushed his students to work hard and ask questions. I respected him for his knowledge and enjoyed his sense of humor. He made me a better student in all respects and I really believe he prepared me in the best way possible for college. Thank you Mr. Bergan!
The job of a teacher is challenging and often overlooked or taken for granted. Teachers influence the lives of our children and every day try to teach, mold and prepare them for the world. This role should be appreciated and respected.
Take a look at this simple video with a powerful message.

I had a 9th grade teacher that really helped me when I was stuck on math, she stayed after class and helped me untill I understood it.
my economics teacher was amazing, she always believed in me and really helped me in school. i think she helped me become a better student
Mr. Adams made me realize that math was fun and interesting. I eventually got a math scholarship to college. Thanks Mr. Adams.

My 7th grade English teacher who challenged us to read beyond what we were comfortable with.
I wasn’t lucky enough to have a teacher that did that for me.
My fifth grade teacher made a big difference in my life. She told me that I could be whatever I wanted to and to go for it.
My high school principal who told me I could accomplish anything I wanted to if I would work hard enough for it.
