This teacher was my 7th grade ELA teacher and he had made an impact on me because I used to lazy around in his class and I did not know how to do many multiple assignments. As I learned I had gotten better and it made me feel confident about myself. Once in 8th grade, usually I would go by his door to say hello and talk about how my 8th grade ELA class was doing. He is a great teacher despite everyone saying he is either a "mean" teacher, but he just wants us to succeed in life. I nominate this teacher because he is funny and determined to set us up for the future.
