Dear Diary,
Coach Anderson has seriously impacted my life. He was my US History teacher at Pomona High. He told me once that I am a young smart lady whose dreams can honestly come true if I have motivation for those dreams. He would help me get through all my struggles. He would him with other classes when I was not doing so well. Even when I had problems at home he would always tell me tomorrow is a new day. He would always compare real life to fiction and he would always have faith in his students he would never let us leave his class without understanding anything. He always made us answer questions before we walk out his door. He honestly made me realize I’m smarter than I tend to be. He would inspire me because he actually cared for us so much. Even on my worst days he would sit there so I can learn what he’s teaching instead of thinking in my mind other situations. He would put sense in me. He understood each and one of his students.
I remember one day I was late to his classroom and he gave me a warning I was going through things so I kept being late a whole week. One time I was late and he would never let me in. I was very disappointed in myself because I had promised him I was going to be early and I was not so I disappointed him. Anderson had said you don’t disappoint me you disappoint yourself because in the real world they wouldn’t just open the door for you just like I did. They wouldn’t give you a warning they would kick you out the first time. That actually made sense to me so from then I was never late to his class. I can honestly say he’s a father figure because he would never let me fall even if I was making bad decisions he would make sure to get me out of there and become a student once again. Not just only me but he never gave up on his students he always said he wanted us to leave the day learning something. He never wanted us to walk out in a blank mine. He motivated me to succeed.
