All other elementary and
middle school grade
influencers:
Mrs. Jackson
Mrs. Colley
Just did what needed to be
done, did not really take the
extra step or effort to help
us succeed and to know us.
Mr. Anderson – all he did
was lecture, we filled in
packet notes, and a 50
multiple choice question test struggled a lot in this class
for each unit.
Rest of high school

have a good relationship
with, just average.

Mrs. Johnson – in
elementary grades I
struggled with reading and
she told me “you are never
going to be good at reading
or pass the test. You will
never be at your correct
reading level.”
Proved her wrong and
became one of the best
readers in class.
Mr. Kirkendoll – Biology 2 –
and always reached out for
help and asked questions
and he was never a great
help. This experience made
me dislike biology and
science in general a lot.
Ms. Davis – college lit –
asked me, “Why do you ask
stupid questions?”
I might have gone off on her
a little bit but it the entire
class was wondering the
same thing, so I asked it. She
came back later in the day
and apologized and told me
to never be afraid to ask
questions.
