Courtney Chumley's Impact On My Life

Throughout high school, there have been many people who have inspired me, but the one who has left the most impact on my life is Courtney Chumley. She was my Algebra II teacher sophomore year. At the beginning of that year, I had a negative attitude towards her for two reasons: she seemed very rude and snobby and simply because she taught math. All of those negative feelings quickly faded away when I realized what a wonderful and caring person she was. I’m not really sure how we became friends, if I’m honest, I just found myself coming to talk to her more often. Whenever that school year ended, I was worried that we would lose the bond that we formed throughout the school year, but I could not have been more wrong. To this day, she still
encourages me and inspires me to do and be the absolute best that I can. The way that I would describe our relationship is like a mother and her daughter who are the best of friends: she cares about me and the things I do, no matter what they are, she scolds me when I need it, which is not very often, and, my personal favorite thing, she loves me no matter what.
