I am proud to nominate my 4 grade teacher for the incredible impact they had on my life . When I entered Mr.Urbina's class I struggled with reading and often felt discouraged They never gave up on me Instead, they patiently worked with me , helped me set goals and celebrated every bit of progress I made They made learning fun and helped me feel confident sharing my ideas Because of there encouragement I went from avoiding reading to actually enjoying it More importantly they help helped me believe in myself Their kindness patience and dedication made a lasting difference in my life I will always remember how they helped me grow not just as a student but as a person
