Ms.Bardwell is a teacher whom everyone wishes they had mentoring them. Ms. Bardwell has helped me academically and mentally. She is the type of teacher that know when you're at the verge of giving up. She doesn't put more pressure on you than the school, your family, and everyone else around you do. She shows genuine love for her job, and it reflects on the students. If it wasn't for Ms.Bardwell, I would have drowned myself in work and stress. She understands what it's like being a student, not a perfect one, but a student trying to graduate and get her life together. I love that on Fridays, she makes us do assignments that don't require us to study for 30 hours or require us to stress ourselves out with more work, but to calm down our brains and give us a break from the reality of everything that's going on in our lives. Some teachers don't acknowledge how out of school student's go through stuff they have to deal with, but she understands, and from experince that's all a student wants for someone out of family and friends to understand them academically and mentally.
