• Details about the teacher I will never forget who inspired me to enter the profession:
I met this professor in my college math course. She was always enthusiastic when she walked into the classroom. Her lessons were always incremental and organized. I took her pre-calculus class, and I recognized the first time that I enjoyed working on math and I was good at it. Through her teaching style, I discovered my potential in math.
