My science teacher Mr.Jones in grade 8. Made a lasting impression on me. I would do anything, be anything in life. All I had to do was PUT my heart and mind into it.

He always write me encouraging notes in my projects and tutored me awesomely when I had a bit of a struggle.

What teacher do you remember or right now has made a huge impact on your life?
 
I was excellent with math when I was young. I forget math. opps! I didn't have teachers who were close to me. I didn't need close to teachers because I rather be close to friends.

I was very good student in K to 12. I loved school because of friends and learned something.
 
I had several teachers i got impressed by them and their encouragements...

I'd have to say my mother. She was EVERYTHING to me while growing up. She is the one that fought to get interpreters in the PE program, fought to keep signing in classrooms, fought for more time and quality in speech therapy and so much more. She would sit down with me in my room at my own little table and teach me how to read, speak and etc... She made sure my teachers were doing their job right! LOL She is the one that taught me that my deafness should not prevent me from being whatever I wanted to be and to stand up for what I believe. To this day, she is still doing it.

i have one she was wonderful unfortunately she died 2 years ago

also my mother too cuz she was ex teacher herself
 
I would say my special education teachers Mrs. Shutter and Mrs. Fishbaugh because they was the one who was always helping me and make sure that I get good grades etc. You probably know I had a rough life at home at the time.. that's why! I am so thankful for them and I got to graduate in 2002. :D
 
My old Resource Room teacher is now my friend. LOL. She was only 25 or so when I was a freshman in High School and now she's in her mid-thirties....since graduation, I have kept in touch via email and we have gotten together a few times.

She's a good gal.

I can't really think of any teachers who have made a lasting impression, but there are a few who I have a lot of respect for. They know it, too. :)
 
I had one teacher I'll always remember for grade 8 (Form II for you Kiwis). George MacKinlay. He was ex-army, had a kilt, which he wore on occasions and was brought out of retirement to replace the teacher we had about 3 months into the year.
I remember him walking in our clasroom and he spotted me down the back with my hearing aid on. He grabbed me by the collar, marched me down the front of the class and kicked one of the kids off his desk and said "This is your desk now, I don't want you sitting anywhere else"....
"Sit Down"
....gulp..... I did so, very quickly.....
In a stern voice, pointing a finger at me, looking me right in the eyes...
"If you do not hear or understand ANYthing I say, put your hand up and tell me immediately....and I will repeat it or clear it up. Got it?"
.....errr....."Yessir"....
"Good"

He was true to his word. A tough man, but a very just one. I had enormous respect for him and he taught me well. So well, in fact, with the improvement in my grades I went into the top academic classes for the next 3 years before other issues brought about my decline.

Mum was so rapt, she bought him a big bottle of Scotch for Xmas. I always remember him fondly and with great respect.
 
Lil Skinner was my model role as being a deaf. I looked up to her and still think high of her. Then I had few other teachers too, they did great job with me.
 
Sr. Ann Gerard in 4th--no one messed with her! :whip: I think she was the first teacher to really push me to do my best.
 
I had the same teacher for 7 years, from grade 1 to 7, and boy she did make an impression of me, made me from the shy little girl who was filled with apprehension to the self-sufficient, self-confident, independent teenager of today!!

For me school didn't stuck, nor does University!!

I have great fun and will continue to do so!!

I have always maintained the fact that being deaf, is what puts me to succeed, and above all, its actually my strength!!
