Someone who impacted me

Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

To become who I am today, the contributions are from many including my parents but if look at someone else who impacted me, it would have to be my 6th grade teacher, Ms. Whitlock.

She was a sweet, lady..who most, probably thought she was super old due to her grey hair but I doubt she was.. Plus when you’re a kid in the 6th grade, anyone with grey hair is old, right?

Anyway, I’ll never forget Ms. Whitlock because she always encouraged me to read as I was struggling to learn English. She gave me a book to read every time I finished one. One of my favorites from the time was Trumpet of the Swan. To most, E.B. White’s most famous and renown book is Charlotte’s Web but I didn’t start with the latter. Anyway, because of Ms. Whitlock, I was able to learn and improve my English by the end of 6th grade and was able to continue to progress all through middle school.

Sometimes a little encouragement and the right kind of push is all it takes!

Thanks Ms. Whitlock!
