During a recent conversation with close friends, we began remembering teachers who significantly impacted our lives. On quite a nostalgic afternoon, I heard wonderful stories about generosity, inspiration, and total dedication to this profession. Most of us had graduated from high school more than twenty years ago, but we still had warm feelings for inspiring teachers who were (and, to a certain extent, still are) role models for us and our colleagues.
