My favorite teacher

A teacher who had a real impact on my life was my history and social studies teacher. She really loved her subjects and expected the same of us. The first time I saw her she seemed rather sarcastic to me, but when I recognised her better I understood that she had great sense of humour. She realised that I was a smart student and she prepared me for the school history and social studies competition.
However, she was strict too and sometimes gave me bad marks. Of course I didn't become a historian, but I am very grateful to my teacher who instilled me with a love of history.
