I have many great memories of my several teachers I had growing up in school because I considered them to have great minds and great talents to be able to inspire people like myself and others my age. I remember how one teacher in second grade always cared when we were sick or not feeling well and when I showed a little weakness in math, she became concerned because I was normally excellent in mathematics.
Then I had a science teacher in high school who always showed the class practical uses for sciences since this was still physical sciences. We learned plant science, a little chemistry and physics. It was very interesting.
