My First Grade Teacher
My hero, my first grade teacher, inspires me to do great things. She believed in me when I was sick with leukemia, cancer of the bone marrow. she believed I could overcome my cancer and do great things with my life. I was rushed to the hospital the second day of first grade, and was absent the rest of the year. I repeated first grade and got the same teacher, lucky for me because I was happy I got her the first time and was sad when I had to leave.
The second year was the one I remembered most. The year I had no hair because of the drugs I was on. No one wanted to play with me because they were not sure if I was a boy or a girl and they did not want to find out. So she introduced me to the whole class so I made friends. From that moment on I had tons of friends.
She also inspired me to make more friends and to never give up. Still today I see her and talk to her. She is my hero and will be my hero forever. I have never had a hero before until I met her! Thank you my first grade teacher!
