My favorite teacher was my Band Teacher. He not only made me study, feel good about myself and pushed me hard; he practically saved me from myself. I kept in contact with him until I was about 20 years old.
He was my teacher in Middle School, but kept tabs on me throughout my High School Career. He would come visit me at my High School, to make sure I was studying.
I sat here for awhile thinking about my favorite teacher and a flood of past stories came to me. Like, this one time, at Band Camp...
Though, there are some serious stories attached to this teacher. I don't know where I'd be now if it were not for him.
Probably the worst teacher I had was an Algebra Teacher that did not understand me at all. He wanted to help me, but he thought I wasn't grasping concepts because
I just didn't want to. He thought I wanted to be
cool. This teacher actually tried to break my spirit and said some horrible things to me.
What? Are you kidding? I was a Band Geek... Any hope of me being cool in school had already been lost! He was a horrible teacher and my Band Teacher had some words with him.
Oops, I forgot... My Algebra Teacher really wasn't the worst. My High Scool History Teacher was probably the worst. He told me I wasn't college material, but I'd have a great career at "Being The Other Woman." I took that to heart and made some stupid decisions after that.
He was a jerk.
