When I used to go to Stipes, she was my 4th-grade GT teacher. She taught Reading and Social Studies, but that's not why I'm here. She made a difference in my life. I never really had any friends(and I still don't), she taught me that even though everyone has their differences, whether they are your friends or foes, you always have to be kind to people, no matter if they bully you. And that pays off. Now I feel like more people are starting to respect me, not as a nobody, but as a somebody, and I feel seen. So that's why I chose this super important teacher. She helped me find my way when I was lost in the dark, and without her, I would've plummeted to the bottom of the tower.
