Who is your favorite teacher?

My favorite teacher was Mrs. Johnson. She chose to see not just who I was, but who I could be. I am always grateful for her investment of time and care.

What was your favorite subject in school and why?

English, without hesitation, was always my favorite subject. The power of language, in written and spoken form, can stir emotion and be the impetus for action that leads to positive change. When we communicate well, we can reach a common understanding and a higher ground in our pursuit of positive change.
