My Teacher

Daily writing prompt
Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

One special and influential teacher was my first-grade teacher, Mrs. Lewis. She taught at Paden Elementary School in Alameda, California in 1967. She was such a kind and loving soul, and she made learning so much fun!

During my junior year of high school, I returned to Mrs. Lewis’ classroom as a teacher’s aide. It was another wonderful experience, an endeavor that pushed me toward my own dream of teaching. I often think about her and the impact she made on so many children. She was a remarkable educator who left her heart imprinted on so many little lives. Thank you for your inspiration and bless you for touching my life.
