One of the most influential teachers that has made a positive impact on my life would be Mrs. Hunt. When you walked into her music room the atmosphere was both fun and electric.

Teacher's school: Booth Memorial
Those who knew me in school knew that I was an overachiever. I wanted to be the first in my family to go to University and I knew good grades were important in getting there. When I started at Booth Memorial I quickly realized, however, that high school was a lot harder than I anticipated. […]

Teacher's school: St. Anne's Academy
Back in my day, St. Anne’s Academy in Dunville was an all grade school so I had many teachers to choose from, but the one that stands out was Des Linehan. He was my favourite. Why? I did well in most of my subjects, but math was a struggle. In high school, I was failing […]

In Grade 8 I was introduced to this wonderful man. A man who always pushed me and my fellow classmates to work our hardest and always follow our dreams even if it was sticking stickers on people as they walked into a store. He always wanted us to do our best! In Grade 9 I […]

Ms. Hiscock was my grade 9 french immersion teacher during my last year at Amalgamated Academy.

She’s a supporter, motivator, role […]

Teacher's name: Lisa Doucette
Teacher's school: Ascension Collegiate
The first time I walked into Ms. Doucette’s classroom I was frightened to death, not going to lie, after hearing our younger siblings talk about how strict she was and “scary” they obviously left out how great and kindhearted she was. It all began in level 1 when I had her for semesterized chemistry; we […]
