I had SO many good teachers...that's why I became a teacher!

1) Miss Wong - grade 4: She was the first Asian teacher I've ever had and thought this was amazing! She was so fun and so pretty!
2) Mrs. Coulter - grade 7&8: Best teacher - loving, nurturing, she recognized that I had body image issues and worked closely with me to help me overcome. We still keep in touch to this day!

I became a teacher because of them!

Mr. Johnson, my awesome 6th grade teacher. He taught us discipline, tough love, how to say Illinois and phrases like, "I'll tack your hide to the barnyard door!" One lasting lesson was to never, ever, give up, perfectly illustrated by a class against class tug-a-war game that lasted way, too long. They almost won with just 1 person left, with only 1 foot in and we came back to win it

Next teacher was Mr. Eaton. He sang to us Cats in the Cradle until it stuck and sparked our imagination with a muppet living in a tree branch beside the door.

Mrs. Sheridan, my 6th - 8th grade music teacher and also private voice teacher in Ohio.

I looooved her so much. She really listened and encouraged me in all aspects of my life, not just music/singing! I remember one particular incident when I went over to her house for my usual singing lesson. My mom and I had JUST had a fight, and so Mrs. Sheridan could clearly see that I was upset and kinda teary eyed. She just sat me down and we talked instead of doing a lesson. She also drove me to audition for the high school show choir and was SOO proud of me when I was the only freshman out of the entire school district (3 middle schools) to make it into the HS show choir!

Now I'm off to google stalk her...
