The 5 Types of Writing Teachers
1. There will be teachers who challenge you. Who you don’t agree with. Who you fight with! Who you look at and think, “Why does this need to be like this?” Who make you question everything you know and work hard for everything that matters. These are the teachers you will look back on and thank for teaching you the hard lessons, for preparing you to be prepared for anything life throws at you. (Miss Vallerand)
2. There will be teachers who are kind to you. Who show up and provide you with the unconditional love and respect you may not get at home. Who always have a smile, in spite of whatever they are dealing with. Who are the parent you need when your parent can’t do it. These are the teachers who help you get through those dark moments when you don’t believe in yourself. These are the teachers who give you hope in humanity and what it could be like. (Mrs. Ritzo)
3. There will be teachers who make you feel special. Who vibe with you on a different level. Who encourage your growth in ways other people have never encouraged your growth. Who love the shit you are doing and support you, ask you questions, investigate with you, and laugh with you. These teachers will pay you the attention you have never gotten anywhere else. They will help you believe in who you are and how you think. They will save your life. (Mrs. Morris, rest in peace)
