Rosy red cheeks and the sound of out of breathe kids fills the classroom. "Alright kids recess is over time to work on your country reports." said Mr. Price, as a collective moan is given. We all begin to work on our reports gathering glue, scissors and pencils. Mr. Price strolls the class room to make sure everyone is on task, or needs help. Many hands raise and he quickly attends the students,"What can i help you with?" he looks down at billy with deep blue eyes. "I really don't think I can do this Mr. Price I cant figure out how to start my paper," billy says hoping for mercy. "Well how about a fact or statistic about the population?"
" Argh! but that means more work in research!"
"Billy how are you suppose to learn if you don't work? and besides you are in elementary school how do you think it will be when your in college?"
Billy shamefully looks back down and begins scribbling at his paper.
Mr. Price was my 5th and 6th grade teacher and was the best teacher I have yet. At times I would not like the way he made us do so much work in comparison to the other fifth and sixth grade classes. However, I am so grateful for it now, because I have not only learned about the concepts of school but I have a awesome study and work habit. This to me has benefited me not only in school but in work as well. He really cared about his students, therefore he made us work for everything we got.
