She told me I was a writer. I believed her. Three years later, she showed my sister's 5th grade class pieces of my writing as examples in some of their units. It was the biggest compliment I could have gotten - she wasn't just giving me lip service. She really believed in me. She is definitely where my belief in myself as a writer came from. :)<br /><br />Great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418440256681984621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608279570927513160.post-90687929087857179142010-05-04T17:52:26.039-07:002010-05-04T17:52:26.039-07:00Behind every writer there's a teacher who insp...Behind every writer there's a teacher who inspired her/him.

My 3rd grade teacher surprised me by submitting a poem I wrote to a childrens magazine and it got published. She believed in me. My Jr High and High School music teachers had the most influence over me - encouraging me to sing. I sent one of them my lullaby CD that I recorded in 2008. Here's cheers to all those who teach!Jan Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617976979678082323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608279570927513160.post-57632358521480418802010-05-04T11:15:14.972-07:002010-05-04T11:15:14.972-07:00I haven't had any writing teachers, but I'...I haven't had any writing teachers, but I've had a few excellent flute teachers that really pushed me to be what I am today. <br /><br />It's nice to hear about your teachers :)Aubriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884036126491922530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608279570927513160.post-69654151986527382632010-05-04T10:41:44.523-07:002010-05-04T10:41:44.523-07:00Great tribute to the positive impact of a supporti...Great tribute to the positive impact of a supportive teacher.

The rest of the class were forced to act it out. She remembers the rebel of the class saying out loud: "This is RUBBISH!" My Highley, her English teacher, was a God her, however. And it was enough that he believed in her and took her writing attempts seriously. She often wonders what became of him. <br /><br />Milt xMiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225081986524585443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608279570927513160.post-14355384341583590822010-05-04T10:07:53.534-07:002010-05-04T10:07:53.534-07:00This is a wonderful post, Roxy.
