Discuss a teacher or mentor who has had a significant impact on your education journey. by Taylor - January 2025 Scholarship Essay

I used to take a Spanish class for 2 years and my teacher was Mrs. Walters. If you ever had the chance to meet Mrs. Walter, then you would know that she is the sweetest kind soul to ever live. There was this one time she was trying to end a fight that had broke out and everyone was ready to jump in and protect her at all costs. She has really always helped me no matter what and that is why we would protect her at all costs.. Not only did she teach me how to speak Spanish, but she also taught me very important life skills. How to be a better person no matter what. To always stand up for what you believe in. Always be available for a hug and be a listening ear. And to also see the light at the end of the long dark tunnel. I’ve always struggled with expressing my feelings, and she has always been there to listen and lend a helping hand. When ever I would have a tough day she would always know exactly how to cheer me up. When I wasn’t feeling well or just felt terrible in general, she would always made sure I was taken care of. She helped guide not only me through the toughest of times and really helped shape me into the person I am today. But also taught me that helping, caring, and leading others just like she did for me is both rewarding and successful. But in the end Mrs. Walters has just always had a huge impact on myself as well as everyone that she has ever met.
