What makes this teacher so awesome is that he makes lotc super fun and engaging, always finding a way to connect with me. And he showed that he cared about me through the passing years in middle school. One thing that excited me about going to class was our physical training (PT) sessions. Even though they were a lot of work, they always ended with free time or a chance to play a sport. The way he would let me know that he cared about me was by asking about my day and always welcoming me into the classroom. What he did to make me a better and more confident student was always encouraging me and believing in me when doing something, and he would give me helpful feedback on things. He has supported me inside and outside of the classroom by reaching out, ensuring I was okay, and always knowing exactly how to put a lasting smile on my face and brightness in my world.
