This is the list of teachers who influenced me to become a teacher:
Mrs. Eddy, 5th grade main teacher, Iowa History teacher, West Marshall Middle School
Mrs. Patton, teacher-aid, West Marshall Elementary & Middle School
Mrs. Quick, math teacher, West Marshall Middle School
Mrs. Anderson, history & geography teacher, West Marshall Middle School
Mr. Lease, science teacher, Northwood-Kensett Elementary School (was my Cross Country coach)
Mr. Peterson, science teacher, Northwood-Kensett Jr/Sr High School
Mr. Gaard, american history/american government teacher, Grinnell-Newburg High School
Mrs. Wagner, English teacher, Grinnell-Newburg High School
Mrs. Peterson, sociology/ancient history teacher Grinnell-Newburg High School
It's amazing how I cannot remember the names of the idiot teachers that hindered me in life. Like the math teacher at Northwood who wanted me to not take math my junior year so that she would not need to make a second-semester final exam when I took "Senior Math" (aka Advanced Algebra or Algebra 2) as a junior and everyone else in the class would be a senior.
Or the person who thought that when I was completing all my work quickly in 3rd grade that the solution was for me to go to the library 2 or 3 times a week to play computer games instead of either advancing me on to 4th grade for the subject area (social studies) or all areas, or giving me additional work to complete.
