    This goes to show how important it is to have a good teacher. I remember one of my best teachers ever. She was my first grade teacher, an older nun. She really believed in me and said that she could imagine me winning a major award some day. Also, I was at the top of my class academically that school year. She has since retired and is probably dead now. Wherever she is, I would thank her if I had the opportunity.

    My first year of school was also my kindergarten teacher’s first year of teaching. We stayed in touch on and off and she ended up being a teacher of mine in middle school again.. I hadn’t seen her since then, but on a whim I reached out and invited her to my graduation open house. I didn’t hear anything and didn’t really expect to see her there (which was totally fine since I hadn’t seen her in so long). Long story short, her and her daughter came and she told me she wouldn’t have missed it for the world! She gave me a little journal as a gift and when I opened it, she wrote a special note inside for me. I go back and read it often and it always brings tears to my eyes.. As a student, you don’t often realize the special impact you may even have on a teacher❤️

    I remember having a really bad time during my last semester of junior year in high school, so much so that I gave up and stopped doing all my school work, stopped studying for tests and was sleeping through all my classes. It followed through the summer so I refused to go to summer school. When I started my senior year my counselor called me in to her office and I already knew there was chance in me graduating. I was mentally prepared for the worst. To my surprise she told me I could still graduate, if I was willing do classes after l school. She told me I would have to do most of the learning myself and be tested after all my assignments were done. I would finish all my classes at my own pace. I took the challenge and stayed after school for both semesters of my senior year! I got As and Bs for my regular senior classes and all As after school. I finished half my junior year and all my senior year in two semester. My counselor hugged me at graduation. I was so proud of myself and greatful for her believing in me.

I have a terrible short term memory I forget names of my classmates or a person during the first few months when I met them but I don't forget faces. Ironically, I have a very good long term memory.

Well one day I'm practicing in class and my music teacher spazzes out on my sister and I (she sucked at the flute as well, though eventually we figured out we were good at other instruments) told us we sucked and were horrible and basically we were failures and this is how the rest of our life would go. I cried and carried hatred in my heart for him onward.

    This makes me so emotional, reminding me that teachers are good. And in my school there were teachers who were good. But one teacher literally tore my life apart, she judged me as a bad student ( idk what she exactly thought of me but she always gave me that attitude that I am not even capable to be near her or participate in anything ) even though I worked on my grade , my attendance , my sports, my public speaking skills, my dance and when I graduated I had accomplished a lot in thoes domains . However, she still hated me and did partiality. I don't know why she did that. What was wrong with me . She never told me. I graduated school with that lump of questions, insecurity issues and sled doubt.
    This video made me smile . I thought about thoes teachers who helped me. Who are still in touch with me. Who call me if they need my help or I text them when I need their help. Student - teacher bond is so beautiful. Some teachers might bring you down but always look up to thoes who bring you up. It can be another teacher from school, tutor , mother, siblings or any renowned person who inspires you .

    I was known in high school as a trouble maker and alot of teachers thought it was best I apply for warehousing jobs that required low skills. Its been 5 years since high school and i'm graduating this year from Law school. I plan on going back to high school to thank my history and english teacher for believing that I could become more than a "brown" minimum wage statistic. We need teachers that fully support each student. 💛

      My third grade teacher literally didn't teach grammar at all. She just read "story time" and that was it for it.
      I went into 4th grade the most confused kid ever as my entire class moved through grammar assignments while I had no clue what any of it meant.
      I struggled through middle school and was pretty much failing my English classes.
      I graduated high school and didn't even know how to properly use quotation marks.
      It was only until I took a remedial class in college that a lot of it started to make sense. I almost wished I could have taken that class another semester.
      I still struggle with it constantly, but I think I do okay now. People try to ask me what verbs, adverbs, and other crap I just pretend to known. I have no idea. I have some idea if I think about it long enough, but I couldn't spout it off like I could 5x5 or something.
      I was the ONLY kid in my class to not go into the 4th grade with that terrible teacher. She moved up with the rest of the class and I switched out.

    Sorry, I grew up in Los Angeles where teachers were asking us to handwrite and copy dictionary and random books and that's how they graded our grades without checking... As soon as you turn your assignments, teachers would write down the grade depending on how much pages you wrote not the context... Gang fights and gunshots every night near by my neighborhood... Thank God for allowing me to pursue to my Master's degree right bow

      You are looking at it the wrong way. If the teacher didn't care who you were, she wouldn't even bother with name tags.
      They knew their weakness so asked for nametags that way they could remember who you were.

      A friend of a friend worked in a dead end job too, for several years and she was so unhappy, she decided to go back and do the proper highschool graduation (she only did one of lower quality) and she was 24 at that point. Usually people are 18 when they do that. Now, she is studying German and British law together with my friend and has just married her girlfriend (she's homosexual). The sky looks blue for her.
      I admire her for her bravery and also, it's these decisions, these non-linear curricula vitae, that make employees interesting to employers.
      They speak of great personal strength, bravery and discipline. My dad employs people in a company and he says that's what he looks for. It's easy to go a way that was paved for you, seemed 'standard', your parents wanted you to etc. But when you go a different way and force your life to become different, it shows that you have great integrity and can move mountains if you want to.

She still talks about her students from 37 years ago with so much fondness my heart bleeds for her. She remembers her students even their personalities. We have children now and she’s bought a minivan so she can collect all her grandkids on the weekends and don’t think you can stand in her way. She’s currently teaching them how to count.

She treated her students like they were just her children. We had SO much fun that year and it set us up so well to looking forward to learning more in 3rd and 4th grade. She even dressed up as Dr. Seuss on Dr. Seuss day. We had a tornado that year after school, but the weather was so scary in school too. I remember her somehow being so calm, but also so real too. She died too young, right before I graduated high school. But jeez did she make an impact in this world!

      Not really, middle school is basically useless, most of those grades don't count in your high school transcript which is what most colleges look at, unless the classes give you high school credit. Not saying you should get bad grades or not try because of this, but you don't need perfect straight A's in ms, I had mostly A's but a couple of B's and it didn't matter because they didn't even count that when I got to hs bc they basically erase everything and give you a whole new transcript so it's probably important to do well in hs.
