Favorite Teachers

This is a post that I previously displayed on my friend's blog -- http://www.zazoosworld.blogspot.com. I hope you enjoy it!

Most people have a favorite teacher and honestly I could name many that have served me well.  I have been blessed enough to have had good teachers from grade school all the way through college.

When I really sit down and think about which teacherin high school not only expanded my knowledge, but also widened my perception, it would have to be Mr. Chimenti.

Mr. Chimenti was my music teacher in high school. His love of song was contagious. Yes, of course he mentioned lots of groups that the typical teenager didn't want to hear about, but his passion for it made you pay attention.

The class was introduced to all forms ranging from Opera to the Beatles. Mr. Chimenti made me want to sing and learn more. His multi-faceted lessons fostered an open mindedness towards classic music and a love of the opera. His class enhanced my current life by adding culture to it.

Real teachers make you feel confident while relating to their subject matter. They also add substance and greatness to your life. Kudos to Mr. Cimenti, as well as all of the other great teachers!
