Friday Feast - An Ode To Teachers
You know, I was thinking. I have been a little on the serious side this week so now it's time to lighten it up a bit. I was asked this week who my kindergarden teacher was and I couldn't remember! So I started thinking about the teachers that I have had over the years and what kind of an influence they were in my life. So here they are, those men and women who have helped the Pudgeman to be who he is today:5. Mr. Carman - High School band director and fellow trumpet player. I learned that music was more than just notes on a page.
4. Mrs. Scurry - First grade teacher. She had a paddle and wasn't afraid to use it! I learned that she truly loved children and wanted to pass on her knowledge and example.
3. Mrs. Reed - High School government teacher. She taught me all I ever wanted to know about politics...................................Stay out of them!
2. Mr. Dingman - High School algebra and calculus teacher. He was also the head basketball coach. I was his statistition my sophomore year. I learned to calculate shooting percentages very quickly in my head just to keep up with him.
1. Mr. Falstrom - High School english, debate, drama and speech and I took him for more than one class of each of those topics during my 4 years at Milan High! If you are to blame any one person for bringing me out of my shell it would be this man. He taught me how to write, speak, act and argue. In other words before this man I was a very shy, introverted and self-conscious kid! I learned a lot from his knowledge and example.
Here are my picks, what are yours or at least your favorite. Be blessed beyond belief today.
