My mother was a history teacher at Lakeridge Jr high for 14 years. She loved it, it was her passion. 5 years before she passed away she started to loose her ability to walk. At first it was only a little bit and she had to walk with a cane, then a walker, then a wheel chair. We found out twelve weeks before she died that she had Lou Gehrig's Disease. Even though she was in immense pain she continued to wake up everyday and go to work because she loved it. Her perseverance and love for her students rubbed off on me and made me who I am today. She had a love for her students and made everyday a fun and exciting day to learn in her class. If I become half of the teacher that she was I will be amazing. I love kids and love helping them through the the tough times and relish in those 'Ah ha' moments. I can't wait to be a teacher to my own group of students.

My Educational Hero would have to be my Mom.
