The teacher that made a difference.

I think all the teachers here at Childress High School are amazing, but there is one teacher that really stands out. The name would be Mrs. Kirkpatrick. Mrs. K for short. Mrs. K not only wants us to work, but she makes it work worth doing. I enjoy getting the chance to blog. Mrs. K actually reads them and comments them. I know teachers aren't suppose to be friends with the students, but she really gets along with all of us. The smile on her face, and the morning greetings; make us feel like she cares. It's easy to come to school, when you have someone that makes you feel like you want to be here. Not only is she they fun teacher, but she's like a counselor, she's just not that pushy. Yeah, she expects you to get your work done, but it's like she understands she's not the only teacher you have work for. There are a few days out of every six weeks she gives us to catch up on our work. It's not that she's ready to get rid of us...lol, but she wants to make sure we get the best grades we can get or can stay caught up. Mrs. K really makes it easy; especially with it being our senior year. Senior year isn't so exciting anymore. It's going to be too hard to leave a teacher you never thought you'd have. I never thought someone so caring, understanding, hardworking, yet fun all at the same time, would ever be a teacher. I'd have to say Childress High School is the best place to go to school even though I can't stand the fact that I live in Childress. We have great teachers, and an extremely awesome principle. Mrs. K has made all the difference; for the better. (:
