My Best Teacher Ever

Most of my teachers were people that took the time out to guide me through the right direction. I can only say I can give the best teacher award to someone who motivated me and took the time to care for me. Her name is Mrs. Gloria Matthews, who’s a math teacher that taught at Klein Forest High School; when I was in the 10th grade. Math is a hard subject to me, but the patience she had gave a better understanding on the word Math. I consider Mrs. Matthews to be the best teacher I ever had because she despise my weaknesses.
I know I’m not the brightest student a teacher can have, but I try to strive for my best ability. Every day in class seemed like a new lesson was being teach. At the beginning of class she always had a stuck up attitude that made you believe she could care less if you catch on to the work or not. But as time passes, I had the wrong perspective about her. She was caring, kind, and a well educated person.
I always acted shy in front my classmates because I didn’t want to be the only person who didn’t catch on. So as the class ended I asked for one on one help so I can get a better understanding. One day when I failed a test but knew the work she asked me, “how do you remember things”, and I replied “songs”. So Mrs. Matthews and I sung short songs to help me remember the problems. It was a great idea because I aced my test. She faced me with challenges and motivated me to overcome the obstacle that was in my way of passing math.
Mrs. Matthews treated everyone like adults. It was no right or wrong answer because we had to respect one another answers even if it was extremely wrong.
Mrs. Gloria Matthews turned out to be the wonderful teacher I could count on to lend a hand. I was so grateful to have her that year as my math teacher because she helped me gain a better perspective on math. She is extremely a role model who inspired me to do my greatest and fulfill my potential. I admire Mrs. Gloria Matthews for what she

    I wasn’t the greatest singer in the world, but I still had confidence; confidence in that I can do better and learn. Ms. Janke helped build that confidence by being my own personal voice teacher twice a week after school and I saw much improvement. I would have never considered singing, especially to a crowd of people, but this all changed when I met Kate. She was my choral instructor for three years while attending school. I saw much improvement in my voice range and tone. I improved so much that I got up the courage and sang the national anthem at one of our high school’s football games. When it was all said and done, people were looking at me and applauding. Ms. Janke once told me that I can do anything if I just worked hard. Because of my National Anthem performance, she was right. To this day I sing for people, and when I help people in their musical struggles I pass down her message to work hard, have confidence, and to not give…

    Using her intimidating presence to good effect, Sally Thompson runs an orderly efficient classroom. To begin with, Ms. Thompson’s no-nonsense demeanor sets a serious tone for the class. When students enter her room, she immediately silences their chattering with a curt greeting and stares at them while they proceed quietly to their seats. During class discussion, she asks very focused questions and makes sure every comment relates to the material, jokes and personal anecdotes are cut off. And if anyone lets out even a whisper or a giggle, that poor student is quickly punished with a detention. In addition to eliminating disruptions and distractions, Ms. Thompson demands that students treat her class with the utmost respect. She does not allow students to wear hats in class or put their feet up on the table. She does not let anyone leave to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water, because doing so implies that the discussion or lecture is not important or interesting enough. Every student must raise his or her hand to talk, or else risk losing participation points. Finally, Ms. Thompson enforces high standards for her students'…
