In honor of World Teachers' Day today, tell us about a teacher who had a positive impact on your life.

Two teacher's come to mind for this question... the first one is Mr. Lucason my High school Biology teacher. Now at this point in my life I hated science...everything about science. I even refused to disect the frog in class because it grossed me out. But Lucason made it better. He was a fun teacher who used real life examples and humerous stories in his teaching. He even brought in a road kill deer he passed that morning on the way to school so that he could show us the insides... (I didn't touch that though because my high school was poor and couldn't afford alot of gloves and Lucason told use we could do it without gloves...gross). He also taught the class like a college course, something that really helped me in the future. By taking his class in high school it taught me how to study for science based things which is one of the only reasons why I did not struggle through Anatomy and Physiology in college... Thanks Mr. Lucason!

The second teacher that comes to mind is Dr. Pack... my college professor for Gross Anatomy and Neuroanatomy. This man is hands down the best teacher I have ever had and probably will have. He connected really well with his students and knew how to teach with humor which really helps in remembering and understanding concepts. He also was very approachable for questions on homework, or basically anything that was going on in your life. His office door was ALWAYS open unlike most professors and he kept a supply of candy and coffee for his students. To this day he is still the professor you can go and visit and just talk about life with... I mean I haven't had him for two years even though I did work for him last year and I sat down in his office this semester and visited for 30mins. He also is awesome to work for as he tells you to make up hours so you get your money's worth from the college.
