One of my most significant teachers was a physics teacher. I always had trouble with science. But he made it very easy to understand. But the best aspect of him was that he never gave up on his students. He would teach and re-teach until they understood it. He would say "The harder you work the more you enjoy the outcome". This particular teacher would spend as much time as needed with the student until they got it. He would even give up his lunch just to help out who ever needed further explanation. He wanted to see his students succeed and to accomplish things they believed they couldn't. He cared for all his students and gave us the encouragement to succeed. Teachers like these are the ones that make a difference and this is why I want to become a teacher to make a change in students life.
Great job and a wonderful story. You are right teachers like your physics teacher are hard to come by, and that is why you have to replicate those things he did that made an impact in your life. Good luck in becoming an effective teacher.
