It might be hard for me to chose my favorite teacher because a lot of them are cool, but If I could only pick one that was the coolest and the best teacher i’ve had I think I would be between five teachers. It would be between Mr.Craig who was my elementary school teacher in 5th and 6th grade, or Ms. Hansen who was my Social Studies teacher in 7th grade, Or Mr.Mctaggart who was my American Studies teacher in 9th grade, or Ms.Olivo who was my learning support teacher in 7th and 8th grade, and last but not least Mr.Cimaglia who is my math teacher.

I would say the one who made a huge difference in my life is my 6th grade teacher Travis Craig. The way he made a difference in my life was he was the first person who told me life wouldn’t go my way. I know it sounds a little bit harsh, but he was the honest guy I ever met. He also had an expression on his face that scared me when I first met him but once you got to meet him you will understand what people mean when they say don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Within my eyes he showed me that even a tough guy could have a warm and welcoming heart and still care about what’s going on with other people. Travis Craig was the first teacher among many who cared and showed they cared. He was someone who I could talk to and be fine with talking to him. Mr.Craig in my mind started my life in a way my parents couldn’t even do. He was an amazing teacher who set me out for really good life with school and I might not have a picture with him but he will always be remembered in my mind and the rest of the students whose heart he touched. Mr.Craig if you see this then keep teaching, don’t ever stop teaching because it’s something you’re really good and in the long run you stilled help so many people’s life.
