Three Teachers That Have Impacted My Life.

A lot of teachers have impacted my life over the years. I've had some bad ones, I've had some good ones. But there are three teachers that really taught me about life. Ms. Beam, Mr. Elder & Mr.Kealy. Let's start with Ms. Beam. My first day of sixth grade gym class I was freaking out I was so nervous. But really we just sat on the bleachers and waited for our name to be called for our uniform. Apparently, Ms. Beam called my name a bunch of times but I didn't hear her because I was talking with my friends. (whoops). At first I was scared of her. But as the time went on she impacted my life more than she'll ever know. I would come into gym class upset and she would talk to me about the problem  and she would try and help. She understood my problems and what I was going through at that time. She believed in me and she showed me she believed in me by being as nice as she was & She supported me.  She tried  to understand the drama I went through in middle school. She tried to understand me and I knew I could talk to her if I was getting bullied at school or if I had a bad day at home. I knew I could count on her. She was a great gym teacher and inspired me to be the nice person I am today. Mr.Elder I don't really remember how I met him. Because I know he was the guys middle school gym teacher. I'm pretty sure I met him at my 7th grade talent show. He Is a musician! I'm guessing talented, I've never really heard him sing or perform himself. But he heard something in my voice he loved. He told me I was really good. He inspired me to continue to go with music. He inspired me to never ever give up with it and to follow my heart. He also inspired me to pick up a guitar and learn. Than when 8th grade came I got a guitar for my birthday and learned how to play. He believed in my music so much he gave me his guitar to play for my 8th grade talent show night. He showed me that there are nice teachers out there and I'll never forget him ever. He was also my health teacher and hearing his stories about suicide and drugs and everything else it just made me feel like he understood where I was coming from with my depression. He actually heard I was suicidal and reported it and honestly he probably changed my life from that moment on. He was a great teacher, Somebody I'll always remember. Now were onto my last teacher. Mr. Kealy. I don't even know what to say. He impacted my life probably the most out of anybody. He picked me to be football manager. He encouraged me to do field day when I had so much anxiety I didn't want too. He talked to me about my gym grade and told me what I needed to do to bring it up. He really inspired me to keep going. I probably wouldn't have been able to get through gym class if it wasn't for him. Because he pushed me to be a better person physically and mentally. He made me come out of my comfort zone. Out of my shell and my anxiety and he pushed me because he knew I could accomplish anything. I heard he teaches at the high school now. He is a teacher I'll always remember . I'll always remember Ms. Beam, Mr. Elder & Mr. Kealy. They were gym teachers at William Penn Middle School. & I will never forget either of them. They were the only teachers that made me into who I was . I'll take there encouragement with me always & I'll always believe in myself because I know they believed in me and they probably still do. I am blessed to have been able to have met them. Be thankful for who you come across. There's always a reason why you meet somebody even if it's for a year- or two years. Cherish every moment.:) Have a good night!
