Different attitude same result

Many students blame their teachers for their failure to pass their class. However, it is up to the students if they want to pass the class or not. Another factor that helps or deprives them from passing their class is the teacher’s attitude. There are many teachers that teach the same subject, but they do not have the same attitude. The teacher’s attitude can cause the student to care or not to care about the class. Students in some cases are just use to those soft teachers that help them afterschool with work and let them turn in work late and still accept it. Tough teachers are as good as the teachers that are not tough. Students just need to learn to adapt to teachers attitudes.

My freshman math teacher was one of the nicest teachers in the whole school and also the smartest. However, she was not a tough teacher, like many others were. She cared about every student in her class. She always tried to help every student that needed help. She even helped students that did not even seem interested to learn anything in class. These students would even go to class thirty minutes late but she would not say a word to them. She made sure every student in her class had a passing grade at the end of the semester. She gave extra credit to the students that needed it. She also stayed after school almost every day to help students with the classwork, homework, and even helped to prepare them for test. I loved her enthusiasm for teaching and helping students.

They had a great impact in my life. Although, they both had different attitudes and different styles of teaching, they have been great role models in my journey as a student. That early pressure from my teacher has helped me survive the tough classes I have taken so far. My freshman teacher taught me to be patient since she always helped the neediest students first. Although they had many differences, they were the same in the wanting for students to become successful. Overall they were one of the greatest teachers I had in my student career. I will never forget them. One day I will come back and visit them to show them that thanks to them I was able to become somebody successful.
