Teachers Can Truly Make An Impact
How do teachers impact their students?
Teachers can change your way of thinking about a subject, teach you new information, or just generally brighten your day.
“Teachers sometimes can change my way of thinking about a subject or can put me in a better mood when they help me with my work. That makes my day better,” said senior Alexis Valdez.
“Teachers advise on their different ideas from experience. They tell you to take deep breaths and concentrate. When we are having hard times, teachers realize it because of our emotions and how we’re acting; they will pull you aside and help you the best they can, I think one of the teachers who has helped me out a lot has been Mrs. Washburg,” said sophomore Diana Reyes.
”Teachers make me feel happy with the comments or feedback that they give me, for example, a positive comment they can make on your work saying that you did a great job. Teachers make me feel better, like not stressed out about the work. They comfort me when they say I will get there if I just do the best I can,” explained Valdez.
” Once I didn’t understand algebra and my teacher stayed with me until I understood. She was so kind about it, was always so positive and I will never forget how she treated me and the other students. She always supported me, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget her. She made me so happy when I had a bad day, so I’m thankful to her. I learned a lot from her. The teacher was Dr. Munive. Anyways, I’m very thankful to her,“ said sophomore Keyla Turcios.
“One of my favorite teachers at Osbourn is Mr. Smith. I had him last year and he was really helpful. He helped me turn in my work when I didn’t have the motivation to do it,” said senior Alejandra Portillo.
“Mrs. Fitzgerald is one of the teachers who has helped me. Last year she would always help me with my work that I didn’t understand and she was there to guide me, and that’s what I really liked about her,” said Valdez.
”One time when I was sad because of personal things my teacher asked me if I was okay, and I told them I was fine even though I wasn’t and she just looked at me with a sweet smile. I don’t have her anymore but I miss her a lot.” said junior, Rosa Franco.
Teachers have impacted these students positively through their comments, their actions, and by just being supportive. How has a teacher impacted you?

I totally agree, teachers can truly make an impact on a students life. I have had many teachers who have supported and impacted me. One teacher I’ll never forget about is Mr. Ramage he was my 8th grade teacher who help with with problems both in and out of school. He motivated everyone in our class and when we thought things were getting difficult he made sure we threw those thoughts away. Great job with the article it really made me think about those special moments with my teachers!

There were so many great quotes on this article I enjoyed reading this and picking off of what people had to say about the teachers here at ohs. I’ve had many teachers but the ones who impact my life the most are always the ones who believe I can succeed and the ones who are most patient with me. Those are the ones I’ll be sure to never forget. NIce job on the article !

Opening this article with a question to the reader is cool and it adds a bit of interactivity, and I like it how you revisited the question again in the last paragraph. These quotes are good, specifically naming teachers gives some appreciation to them.

I agree with this article I have had some teachers that help me more than others and were also very great teachers. The best teachers can help you with school education and sometimes outside of school.

I like the idea of this article. It had lots of quotes, and showed us of what the students think. Readers can relate to this article so it’s always nice to read about it.

I liked the opening of this article; teachers have a major positive impact on students’ lives and perspectives. I especially relate a lot to this article as well because I have a lot of teachers who I see as second parents to me.

I think the opening was a great transition into the main topic of the article- having quotes from seniors as well as sophmores keeps it on trakc and provides variety. This article was great!

I agree teachers do impact student so much. Some teachers who give student a hard time can even make the student lose complete interest in a class they liked before. My orchestra teacher her time on me and didn’t give up on me unlike other teachers who tried to force me to do work i couldn’t do and now i know how to play the instrument better.
