I really enjoyed reading this article! I resonate with you because I know Mrs. Baura and agree totally.

I, too, remember my Elementary Teachers. They were fine women, gifted in teaching children. Mrs. Pauline Robertson challenged me to read in eighth grade, and I read a hundred books, mostly Classics.

What a beautiful tribute! I'm glad you had such an inspirational teacher in your life.

I remember the day in high school when my English teacher wrote at the top of one of my papers, "You are finding your writing voice." That comment encouraged me to think of myself as a writer and to keep working on the craft. I'm so grateful for her words!
