My Favorite Teacher

The best teacher that I ever had was a woman named Monica Little, she teaches at Lithonia High School. The reason I say that she was my favorite teacher is because her class was always so fun, don't get me wrong we stayed busy with work and her class was just like any other class but it was the way she taught it.  Mrs. Little was always real with our class,  she never sugar coated anything and that's what I loved about her. In her class sometimes we didn't even work in class she just sat down and talked to us about life and how it is in the real world. I feel like she really prepared me for life after high school. One time when she was talking to our class she broke down and started crying, she really cared about us she was just like a second mother.She started crying because she said that we weren't taking our education seriously and that she was scared that we wouldn't be prepared for the real world . That's why I loved Mrs. Little even though she taught me in my freshman year it still feels like I was in her class just yesterday.

Hi Frederick,

When I read your posting about Ms. Little, I could feel how much she made a difference in your life. How fortunate you are to have had such a special teacher! I do hope that if she hasn't read your blog, you'll tell her about it so she can read what you wrote. I'm sure it will mean a great deal to her.

I wondered which of the traits you mentioned you feel had the greatest impact on you? And do you think she will influence what you do when you are a teacher?

Best,
Lani

I wish that I could meet Mrs. Little! She sounds like a fabulous person and what a great teacher! She is so right about education and how it can make a tremendous difference for those who take advantage of it. You are so mature to be able to appreciate her and her message to you. Keep up the good work and catch up on your blogs. I think you are one short.
