My best teacher 18-05-2007

When I was in high school I loved my Language classes and I think in a way it was because the teacher was awesome.
She was quite short and chubby , she was not beautiful but she had a "light" that attracted everybody, she was very charismatic. But what I liked most about her was her simplicity and the way she used to approach the students. She was so nice and kind that we felt comfortable to talk about anything with her.
I also admired her because she was a cultivated person, she seemed to know everything, not just only things related to her subject but different issues. It was a pleasure to hear her speech,she was passionate and she transmitted her passion to the listeners.
She taught us to think she said it was important to be analytic and see everything from different perspectives, she encouraged us to go beyond the surface and she used to tell us not to let people to tell us what to think.
She took time to explain to us carefully whatever she was teaching, providing reasons, examples in order to make us understand her. Her classes were never boring.
She did not treat us like "just students" but like humans with different thoughts , feelings and
problems.We could always trust on her and she was ready to give us help and support.
She encouraged her students to get involved in social issues, to participate as active citizens because as she used to say the only way to change what we do not like is participating instead of complaining.
We respected her because she respected us, she gave us the freedom to express our ideas and never said you are wrong on the contrary she was open to our comments.
She gave us tools to start living in society respecting everybody because our rights finish where the others start, as she used to paraphrase.
For everything mentioned above and for being an amazing woman is that I think my Language teacher was the best teacher I ever had.
