During the interview with Mrs. Rainforth, I knew by the way she was talking, she was so passionate about being a teacher. She had such a compassion to become a teacher so she could help them reach their greatest potential. I too, want to be able to help students get to their highest potential and having a love for enriching the lives of others.

I feel that I had two teachers that really made an impact on me. One of them was my speech teacher Mrs. Miers. I would see Mrs. Miers two to three times a week . And during time we would practice my english and how to pronounce my words correctly. Mrs. Miers would regularly check on me and have frequent meetings with my parents.
We would sit there and play for the rest of class, 5 minutes before school was over we would wheel the piano back to the classroom and I would leave. Through this experience, I was able to develop a friendship with this teacher that still is there today. During one of our classes, I was learning a song by Maroon 5 called Payphone. This song was very hard for me to learn and I took a lot of work to learn it. I practiced and practiced to achieve my goal.
