    Mr. John Izzo by a long shot. He was not only a fantastic High School History teacher, but our Drama Director as well.

    When I read this question, I had a flash of all of the teachers I have had in my life. Out of all of those good, bad or indifferent teachers, one teacher stood out in my mind. I would have to say that the teacher that was undoubtedly the most influential teacher that I have ever had would have to be Mr. Clausen. Mr. Clausen was a great teacher because of his ability to relate to his students; he was accepting of his students, he was not racist or biased with any of them. He was also a great teacher because he helped his students to open up and deal with real life situations and he got his students to think about sensitive issues, as well as discuss them openly with each other. Also, he was an excellent teacher because he made things interesting for his students, he truly cared, and because he shared a mutual respect with his students that most teachers could only dream of. Mr. Clausen was the most influential teacher because he has forever left a lasting impression not only with me, but also on every life that he has come into contact with, and that is something that most people will never accomplish.

    My fifth grade teacher Mrs. Jones. She was awesome. Not only was she a great teacher but she helped me during some of the hardest times in my life. My grandmother, whom I was dearly close to, passed away. Thanks Mrs. Jones for all you did!

    My 12th grade math teacher was awesome. She had a stern demeanor, but she was such a good person. I don't ever recall having another teacher that cared as much as she did.

    Believe it or not, it was my kindergarten teacher, Miss Mixon! I have recently tried to find her, but have had no luck:(

    I connected with her I suppose because she comforted me when I was sad about my Mom leaving me on day one lol

    I stayed in touch with her until about 4th grade..My Granny would make/buy things for me to gift to her and I'd send her snail mail postcards & letters! She was a very special teacher to me!!

    My favorite teacher was my English teacher MR. Water. He read and critiqued the first book I wrote. When it was published this year, I went back & gave him a signed copy

    My most influential teacher was my 7th grade math teacher Mr Fig. I always hated math. It was never an easy subject for me until I was in Mr Fig's class. He changed my take on math and now it is one of my strongest subjects. Thanks Mr Fig.

    My fave teacher was Mrs. Workman in Kindergarten! She made everything fun and made me feel comfortable being there in a new school! She also wore either pink or blue hair color! She was fun.

    I can't really remember any teacher sticking out as a big influence. That's pretty sad. I do remember having a wonderful girl scout leader who influenced me a lot.

    My 4th grade teacher Mrs. Gavin encouraged me to read above my comfort level. I've always enjoyed reading but she had me reading (and enjoying!) the classics at an early age.

    The most influential teacher in my life was my Aunt Jeanie Swain. I took seminary classes(Bible/scripture study) in highschool and she was the teacher. I have never learned so much and felt the Spirit so strong. It really strengthened my testimony of the Savior, Jesus Christ. She was an amazing lady that just passed away from cancer this past March :( She'll never be forgotten.

    My most influential teacher in school was my high school english teacher Mr. Stork. He had such an easy going way with his classes, great book choices and was always engaged in the class. He never gave lectures but had 'conversations' with us about our reading and related the themes of books to our real like. It really gave me a love of reading and sharing which I have passed on to my kids.

    My most influential teacher was my Cosmetology teacher Mrs. Knabe. She was working to open her own beauty salon while teaching us and she taught me that if I work hard enough, I can get where I want!

    My most influential teacher would have to be my 4th grade teacher Mrs Pettway. I can remember her going beyond the call of being just a teacher. She helped with special projects when she didnt have to. She was a great person and awesome teacher!

    My first grade teacher gave me a bad grade in reading - this set me on a path to prove her wrong and to this day I love to read.
