Throughout our educational experience, we encounter many educators and instructors across various subject areas and disciplines. While all of these teachers offer us positive new ideas and experiences, for many, there is that one teacher or few teachers that stand out above the rest as having a highly influential role in shaping the people they have become. These teachers are the ones you spend afternoons with after school or have inside jokes no one will ever begin to understand; these are the teachers you will forever miss and look forward to visiting on breaks and vacations; these are the teachers you can never thank enough.
