Mr Ademuyiwa had a positive influence in my life. He disciplined me when I did wrong and made be to understand that I need to learn from my mistakes. Spare the rod and spoil the child was his popular proverb.
Today, I’m a better person. The training & discipline that I underwent some years ago have massive impact on my life today.

Mr. Walsh was my High School Theory of Knowledge teacher and he taught me so many things I never thought of learning in high school. He introduced us to classical music. We would have a quiz every week, and he would play the music, and we would have to remember the title and composer of the music. It was my first introduction to Beethoven and Mozart, and I loved it. He also taught us how to question our sources. We would create an argument, and he would ask, “How do you know?” You would really have to delve deep into your research to prove your arguments. This class was probably the most beneficial class I ever took and helped me learn how to prepare arguments for my essays in other classes.

My mother and my late father were teachers and they both taught me. I learned from them integrity honesty and hard work. Also, there dedication to the people in our community, church, and the lives of other children that did not have a positive role model.

My freshman English teacher had a profound impact on my life. And looking back, I think the main reason why is because he took an active interest in my life. He laughed at our jokes, he asked how our weekend was, and he really seemed to care.<div>

My favorite teacher has always been my high school band director. He was always encouraging towards my playing and musicianship, and it motivated me to major in music for my undergrad. He seemed to care about my progress, and he seemed interested in me.
