Teachers, Professors, Doctors, for the most part want you to do your absolute best. And that most of them are super nice people who love getting to know there students, and will bind over backwards to help students.
I actually owe a lot to Mr. Williams, my first collage level teacher (English 1010) at Motlow Community collage, (I was dual enrolled) and encase you haven't noticed my writing is not what you would call "Good" (and to be fair I am not really trying to be grammatically correct here, "first draft, last draft, get it out the door" is sort of the motto of this blog) regardless he would meet with me to go over every paper everyday before class, and no matter how bad the paper was he would always encourage me, also give creative criticism. And I am sure he no longer says the words "you can write your research paper on whatever you want to" in eng 1020, after I took him up on it and wrote about Bigfoot, and then doubled down by getting him to agree to giving me extra credit for working the salem witch trials in to it, and at the same time I became the first person to quote Dr. Seuss. (still very proud of that one) and I have had a ton of very good teachers, I have also had some that seem to thrive on the pain of students, but by enlarge the good out weigh the bad, and while CC was fun, I have to say that my favorite undergrad Professors are at Austin Peay State University, and then among this the Ag department is really the best, Dr. Sudbrink, Dr. Goode, Dr. Mills, (Ms. Patty not a teacher but still super helpful) and then of course my favorite Dr. Galben (DVM) who happens to be the adviser for the Pre-Vet club that I happened to be president of for a time, she also was my research adviser, and a really good friend/mentor.
Now I just need to make these connections here and I will be set, as for you dear readers you will have to forge your own lasting relationships with those who strive to feel your heads with knowledge, till next next week TTFN.
