mari4212Have you ever had a teacher that made you fall in love with their subject? Who made it come to life, and you wanted to know everything about it? Who made it into a real, living subject that mattered to you?
For me, that teacher was Mrs. Walter, and the subject was Biology. I had her for three classes in high school: Honors Bio my freshman year, Anatomy and Physiology my junior year, and AP Bio my senior year. If not for her, I wouldn't have ever thought about going into Physical Therapy. For three years, she shaped how I learned Biology, and what I thought about it as a subject.
Freshman year of college, and my Bio teachers were the same way. They loved the subject and taught it well.
Now, however, I am taking a class from someone who, if I had had her in high school, would have made me hate Biology with a fiery passion. I'm talking about my Anatomy teacher, Dr. Gulgin. Out of three class periods I've had with her, of which two actually consisted of her teaching, I have walked out of the room with tension headaches all three days. And most of that is from holding back from screaming at her for her inacuracies or oversimplifications.
Where are you Mrs. Walter?
