Did you have a teacher that inspired you, opened doors in front of you and put a fingerprint on your life the way it is now?

There are some of us lucky enough to have had a teacher that stepped in the classroom telling a poem for hello. Giving away hints, opening roads to explore, replacing the thousand words with a scheme, making his house a non-stop walk-in walk-out of students that took away a piece of math problem, a poem, a piece of politics lost in the discussion, something for the mind to chew on without being aware. I honour his memory and speak with friends from those times about him bringing us together, a riverbank for the small rivers to flow.

    Nov 26 2011: YES ! when i chose to come to the USA for study i didn't really thought that they will be someone rather than your close friends or family who will understand what you want or be there when you needed somebody to show you the way to your future but i was wrong .. and i was lucky to have a great professor her name ! Dr.Kim Tucker . she made me believable in my self ,trust i can do it when i didn't believe in my self and she was always there for me . bottom line she held the light at the end of the tunnel and trusted me to go through it by my self.
