The first teacher I can think of that has really influenced me as far as my future goes is Ms. Shelton. She has a willingness to teach any student that cares enough to listen, and she was probably one of the first teachers I've ever had that actually recognized me as a person, rather than just another student. She solidified my desire to be an english teacher one day.
Mrs. Pittman is the next, following right after Ms. Shelton. She probably doesn't realize it, since we've had a few rough patches (namely me being a procrastinator), but I look up to her. Everything she has in her life is what I want one day - a happy marraige, beautiful children, a job that to do just because I love it, the respect of my peers, and the ability to accomplish what I want to accomplish.
The Major cannot be left off this list. You come into JROTC with wide eyes and a little fearful. Sergeant Major is your first experience with the program, and his gruff attitude is uniquely his own - however, he also can play favorites, and is known for his favoritism on drill team. There's no hope for a little freshman like yourself. And then you enter the Major's class. He has his quirks (strongly disliking ketchup, hating most music, and affection for most comic strips being the main ones), but that's just it - you are a person to him, and he is a person to you. He encourages you to be nothing less than your best, and for that, I am grateful.
