6. Teachers really do make a difference

I went to a very strict Catholic School for grade school, and while I had a few nice ones, most of my teachers were down right mean and highly critical.

That all changed in the public high-school, and then at college. My teachers became my biggest cheerleaders, and helped me rebuild a sense of self worth and confidence. I don't know what I would have done without them.

I agree with you may those that have passed all rest in peace.
