 Who was that special teacher in your life?
We all have that special teacher we will never forget who helped us discover the joy of learning rather than the drudgery of being taught. I remember my 6th grade teacher Mr. Sladek whose family escaped Czechoslavakia in the early 1950's. He was so happy to be an American with the opportunites he was afforded that his passion for learning a new way of life in America really changed all of us young 12 year olds. I am almost 62 now and he is as vivid now as he was then. Who was your favorite mentor? |
