Teacher's school: Holy Spirit High
I was a bit of a loner going through high school. I had really close friends but never engaged in anything extra extracurricular. I was very focused on doing well in school that I never saw the point in engaging in the arts programs that the school had to offer, often opting for science courses […]
Thank you, Pam Tobin, Aedon Young, and Mercedes Luby

Teacher's school: Other
The other day, a student asked me why I became a teacher. I had to pause for a moment, not because I didn’t know the answer, but because I didn’t know how to answer it simply or concisely. You see, the reason I became a teacher is largely due to these three people: Pam Tobin, […]

Teacher's school: Corner Brook Regional High
I would like to begin my story by thanking Mr. Hillier for being such an amazing math teacher. I have often struggled with mathematics, and this year that really changed. What really helped, was knowing that he would never stop believing that I could do better. If I got a “bad mark” on a test, […]

Teacher's school: Holy Cross All-Grade
Dear Raymond Abbott, We were just two individuals who shared a passion for hockey and art. It was almost sacrilegious of us to form a close bond; my roots are deeply embedded in the streets of Long Island, the grit and grind of the common man, the underdog’s mentality-while you on the other hand are […]
Thank you, Mr. Byrd

Teacher's name: Mr. Dennis Byrd
Teacher's school: Holy Heart Of Mary
I was definitely not a student who stood out to any teacher. That’s probably due to the fact that I never took part in any school activities – and nothing about studying ‘inspired’ me. Then I was blessed to have Mr. Dennis Byrd as my English teacher at Holy Heart of Mary back in 1977. […]

I would like to Thank Ms Joyce Strong (now Roberts), my grade 5 teacher at Davis Elementary in Carbonear. She was an amazing teacher. She treated all of her students the same, whether rich or poor, popular or not, she gave merit on our work/accomplishments, in the class. She was considered tough by many, but […]

Thank you Mrs.Gwen Burt,formerly of Point Leamington Academy, for maximizing my lifelong love of the written word. I had always adored anything literature based but you made me think outside the box and evolve in such a way that I still write to this day. You are one of the greats and I cherish being […]

When I was in grade 2 I was lucky to have had Mrs.Greenham!! I still remember the activities we did, from a bear unit to sitting around the quiet circle hearing her read to us. I knew from then I wanted to be a teacher and I wanted to be just like her!! She inspired […]
