Curtis White once said, “Anyone can be a teacher or a professor, but not everyone can influence you to strive for excellence and make a difference in the world around you.”. When I think about what teachers influenced me, I think about what got my stubborn self up and talking. What made them so special that I was so excited to go to their class or school the next day? What made them so special that I would actually do my homework and study for their test? Not the fact, that I wanted good grades because lord knows I don’t have to study to do that. What made this person so special that I went out of my norm for them? My first teacher, I would like to speak of would be Ashley Amason from Walton High School.

He was one of those teachers that during lunch you would come and sit in his class to learn more Spanish or just hear him make people laugh.

Mr. Buck would let us play "Hot Potato" with a beach ball every Thursday before a test. If you caught the ball after the music stops, he would ask you a Spanish vocabulary word and you would have to know what it is in English. It made the classroom exciting and got everyone out of their seats. He was the type of teacher that would play Charades with us to get us engaged in the lesson. If there was anything we didn’t understand, he would go through it as many times as we needed it. Mr. Buck is truly an outstanding

Teachers The teachers liked at the beginning of the year and the ones I like now are totally different. Mr. Gronewold I’ve always been close with because of being a wrestling manager.

Mr. Knights I hated at the beginning of the year, but I realized he wasn’t that bad.

Experience Humanities described the cannon as “a set of principles or rules that are accepted as true…in religion, the approved and authoritative writings are accepted as divinely inspired, such as the scriptures for Jews and Christians; and in religious and other contexts, certain prescribed rituals or official rules and laws” (Noble, Matthew, Platt 666). Christians believe in the bible, the Jews believe in the Tanakh, and the Muslims believe in the Qu’ ran.
