Day 3- Your Favorite Teacher

I have been really lucky over my lifetime to have been exposed to some wonderful teachers. I have always loved school and learning so I really thought my teachers were great and enjoyed almost all of them. So, I can't pick just one favorite...

Mrs. Sabitis: 3rd grade-She was an older lady and a little odd, but I loved her. She really had a knack for finding out what people were good at and encouraging them in that area. She also made us use proper maners and be kind to others. It was in her class that I first learned what writing a kind note to someone could mean. I was in this class when the Challenger exploded.

Mrs. Green:6th grade Science-Mrs. Green was a very confident woman who was always happy and perky. She could also write backwards with her left hand, so I thought that was cool. But she was always making science fun and hands-on. I had her in 6th and 8th grade, and in 8th grade she worked a deal with Sony. They mailed her enough radios for all her 8th grade classes and sent a rep out. We learned how to take them apart, what all the pieces did and put them back together. We got to keep them when we were done. I still have that radio today!!

Mrs. Anderson: 9th Grade Biology- Mrs. Anderson was another science teacher who knew how to make it fun and relateable to every day life. She was young, beautiful and hip. I thought she was so cool! She also went to my church and I looked up to her so much. I wanted to be just like her when I grew up.

Mr. and Mrs. Lowe: Discipleship class middle/high school- This was a class that met on sunday nights at my church to help you grow in your faith. They were very dedicated and taught for many years. One lesson they taught stands out to me to this day...they were teaching about God's plan for sex and they compared virginity to marbles...I know it sounds crazy. But basically, they were saying you don't want to give your marble away to just anyone. They gave us each a marble as a reminder and I still have mine.

Mrs. Hagans: Acteens teacher- Acteens is a missions program in the Baptist church for teenage girls. Ms. Alice was called and dedicated to working with girls in this program. She led it the entire time I was growing up. What I remember more than any project we did was how much she loved us all and how much of herself she gave to us.

Oh my, I really feel like I'm missing some. But when I instantly think about who taught me things I remember to this day, these few stand out.

I used to be a school teacher and it is hard work. I am so thankful for who choose to sacrifice of themselves for children. God bless them all!!
