I'd love to! Ok, I have to tell this story before I tell who influenced me most. In the third grade I had a teacher that treated me like I was an idiot. She would humiliate me before the entire class, and didn't show any consideration to my feelings. I couldn't stand her. Because she treated me with such disrespect I wouldn't listen to her and I refused to do my homework. I was failing and I shouldn't have moved on to the 4th grade, but she passed me just so she wouldn't have me for another year.
Going into the 4th grade I kept this belief that all teachers were mean and didn't like children. I was very bitter and angry, but I ended up with a teacher who loved children and furthermore, loved to help them learn. She noticed that I didn't like school and because of this, my grades were suffering.
She worked it out with my parents that I would get private tutoring lessons from her after school. She was kind, patient, and regarded my feelings with the upmost respect. She made learning fun again! With her help I was eventually able to make the honor roll! All A's!
She was the best teacher I ever had, and it's because of her that I want to become a teacher, and I hope that I will be as good a teacher to my students as she was to me.

hmm.. a person who had the most impact on me? lets see..
i guess it would have to be one of my best friends, jana. i've pretty much known her for a good uhh.. almost 10 years now and she's taught me so many things. she made me realize that not everyone would turn their back on you. we've been best friends since we were in 3rd grade (when she was my twin) until now.. which is about a good 9 years. i believe that without her guidance during life, i wouldn't have become the person i am now.
Director of Music:
Haha people who know me well will say that was an easy one. My band director. He has shown me that you dont have to be a genius to play an instrument. That you can mess up. That HE can mess up. And i've heard him squeak but he blames it on his reed ^^. Self-discpline. Concentration. Sarcasm. Respect. Teamwork. This and so much more. He is one of the best in the state. I strive every day to get his praise. And when I do, it means everything to me. He has earned my respect. More than my actual father will ever get. I know my band director more than my father, and frankly, I dont mind. My director has become in a way a father figure to me, and a definite role model. The way he works is amazing. He is extremly dedicated to what he does, and he loves what he does. His standards, expectations for me are high, but they are all worth it. All in all, it makes me become a better player, and a stronger person for reality.
