3．School was always something I loved because I always enjoyed learning more.I never felt afraid of going to school early in the morning，and I never tried to get out of any work.I stayed after school every chance I got.I did most of the work I could，got the best grades I could，and in the end，I graduated from high school with honors.All my success was because of the teachers I had who helped me，pushed me，and made learning a fun thing to do.
   At the beginning of the school year，I had a lot of trouble leaving my mom in the mornings，but Mrs.Trainer always sat with me，talked with me，and helped me feel OK without my mom.She was understanding，kind，and always made the classroom a comfortable place.Mrs.Trainer also sat down and helped me learn；I was，and still am，the worst speller，but she tried her hardest to help me.
   The second was my senior high school English teacher，Mr.Stonerock.Mr.Stonerock was able to make English and writing fun，especially when we had eight-page papers to hand in.Some of my favorite high school memories （記憶）were in his classes.Mr.Stonerock also taught my class APA format （格式）which to me is invaluable.I use it every day in my life.He put up with so many shenanigans （惡作劇）from my classmates and me and always did it with as mile.
   My point to all of this is that there are amazing and caring teachers out there whether they teach college level classes，high school level classes，or primary level classes.I have had more influential teachers than I can count.I am still in touch with some of my high school teachers，who give me life advice and guide me.Teachers are invaluable resources （資源）and no one can take their place.
