Happy teachers' day!

Happy teachers' day to all my students who are also teachers!

I'd like you to tell me about some teachers who have inspired you!

I can remember my French teacher at university who was an enthusiastic, patient and pleasant young woman that made us all love her language and her country.

I also remember how inspirational and exigent our Philosophy teacher was. Reading "Los mundos de Sofía" in class made as all enjoy Philosophy as teenagers.

To finish, I’ll mention my Math teacher: a creative, positive and funny man who let us discover how Math is present in our lives.

Their classes have probably made me who I am now.

How about you? Can you mention a teacher that was particularly inspirational to you?

Please, tell me about him/her.
