An event that happened to me that changed the way I view teaching, would have to be when I was about thirteen in eighth grade.  I was sitting in science class and could not wait for the day to be over.  My teacher's name was Mrs. Bunner, she was a grumpy little lady.  Every time a student would ask a question she would be rude and make the person asking it feel stupid.  That year, barely anyone ask any questions because of the reaction she always gave.  After that year was over, I told myself that I would never put down any student's question or make them feel bad for asking it.  I knew I could be a better teacher then she was and I promised myself I would be after that year.
