Mrs.Prestia
Life is full of experiences both great and horrible yet, they form who you will become as a person. My first couple of years in high school I was very caught in only having a good time and I set aside school. In my Junior year of school I met Mrs. Prestia. She was a sixty-two year old woman teaching English III. Mrs. Prestia had a severe case of osteoporosis but she never let it get in her way. She saw potential in me and one day stopped me after class and let me know that was I capable of becoming something better. Eventually I stopped skipping classes and managed to graduate in the top quarter of my senior class. It takes people not giving up on one another to make an impact. Mrs. Prestia never lost hope in me and helped me become a better student.

It's amazing what a word of encouragment can do!
Its funny how one person can alter your perception of something huh? That's great that she saw potential in you because look at where you are now, you must be really thankful.
