I don't recall anything that happened with her teaching but I do remember the relationship she had with my friends and I. We would often hang out in her room after school, during lunch, or she would give us special jobs to help her out. When the school year was over she invited us to her cabin and we waded down a river through the woods. This seems crazy now and extremely inappropriate but it was no big deal then. A few years later after we had moved on to middle school, we decided to visit her. I literally walked through a snowstorm and got frostbite on my ears. So I guess I remember her the most because she showed an interest in her students' lives. I think that is probably common with most of the people who have an influence on us. It happens because they show that they care about us in a personal way. Do you have a teacher or someone in your past that had an impact on your life?
