When most kids go to school each day, the only things they look forward to is lunch and recess. Well, I think otherwise. When I walk into school each day, the one thing I look forward to is the warm welcoming of my sixth grade teacher, Ms. Glenn. I love Ms. Glenn because she makes school seem like my second home. She always explains how our class is like one big family and that we need to stand up for each other. Whenever we are learning an academic skill she always tells us how that skill will help us in real life. The way she teaches us affects not only our mind, but our hearts. To me, that is what being a teacher is all about. Please consider Ms. Glenn as a winner of this contest.
