Who Was Your Favorite Teacher?

October 17th, 2007 · 4 Comments

My favorite teacher was my 10th grade English teacher, Miss Helen Dunham. She was also our Thespian Troup drama director.  She took us on trips, worked with us on forensic pieces and opened new worlds of stage and theater to us! She was more than a teacher; she was a friend!

You can read more about Miss Dunham and our dramatic adventures in my new book, A Tree Grows in Trout Creek. Hot off the press and available on this site. Go to ORDER BOOKS and learn more (credit cards accepted)!

    Mrs.Idriss was and will always be my favorite teacher in school. That’s because she is a teacher from deep inside, she doesn’t do it for a need she does it for help and for us to try to be such a valuable person in this world as she is now. If you care about school, and about your education, she will provide all the care and help you need to get through her class with staight A’s… In some people’s opinion, a teacher is there to give us detentions, kick us out of the lessons, pretend they understand the subject, gain the money for no reason and that’s it!Now there are such teachers, but that’s how Mrs.Idriss is special…SHE IS SPECIAL!!, SHE IS DIFFERENT!!, AND YES SHE IS ONE OF A KIND!!
    Good Luck,

    Your teacher sounds like a very special person and one you can trust to guide you in learning. You should tell her that she is your favorite! Thanks for stopping by, Jawaher!
