This week I was asked to write about a teacher that has changed my life in my opinion every teacher has changed my life but very few have changed it drastically. I havent really lived in Childress long enough to get attached to a teacher and them change my life but every teacher here has believed in me and has really worked to bring out my full potential. I will always have two favorite teachers and they are the two teachers that have made school and life so much better. Mrs. Snow and Mr. Lindly are the greatest teachers in the history of teaching and thats the God honest truth, they don't only teach you the knowledge they get paid to teach you, they always teach you so much more. They are the teachers that every kid talks about and you always know about them before you even get to high school because they either taught a sibling went to school with your parents and Mr. Lindly probably even taught your parents.
I guess I will start with Mrs. Snow, She has always been like a second mother to me and is an incredible woman. Her son is my age and we grew up together since kindergarten, but i have always had a crush on him and I know that all of Boswell knew it too. Any ways thats a different story, but Mrs. Snow was my typing teacher and the best Cheerleading coach anyone could ever ask for. I was around her almost all the time because if I wasn't in her room trying to get out of some other teachers class I was doing something for cheerleading and she was also our class sponsor. Mrs. Snow has always been an outspoken teacher and wasn't afraid to be mean when she had to but I loved it. I remember when she threw the paddle on the ground and she threw it so hard it bounced back up and hit the ceiling. Trust me she will put the fear of God into you if she has to, and has been known to make many high school boys cry. Even though it sounds like it she isnt mean unless she has to be but in Boswell all the boys are rowdy so its a daily thing with them. She has always been a sweet lady who has been there for me when I needed her and could trust her with my life. And she would risk hers for me if it ever came down to it. She is a great teacher she has always pushed me when I thought I couldn't go no farther and has helped me alot to realize life is only as hard as you make and if you put the effort into it you will always get what you want. She was one of the most inspiring teachers Boswell has had. She was always doing something with the school and usually had her plate to full but still managed to do it personally to me she is a hero and without her i don't think I would've made it through high school without her actually I know I would have but I it wouldn't have been the same.
Mr. Lindly is an amazing teacher and the only teacher at Boswell who taught his class and people payed attention. He is the most respected teacher and probably the toughest one. He has a method of teaching that not only teaches you the facts but also prepares you for college. Mr. Lindly has literally pushed me to my full potential and made me realize that life is only going to take me a far as I want it to go. He is one of the many teachers that love their jobs and will continue doing it for as long as he can. He has been a teacher for a very very long time taught most of our parents and maybe a few grandparents with as young as kids are having babies in Boswell, Oklahoma, and the man is always talking about retirement and he cant never make himself do it. He loves his job to much and will be there until he cant do it any more or they make him leave. He has always made it to where boys sit on one side and girls on the other and there is absolutely no talking. He says there are less distractions that way. He is also a big man about respect not only tword himself and other adults but to other kids so pretty much to EVERYONE. I remember one time Levi Hess and Bradley Snow and im pretty sure there was another boy in there somewhere knocked all my stuff off of my desk and just stepped all over it. Well of course they done it in Mr. Lindly's class that was there first mistake because you dont goof off in there especially as a sophomore who knew better, but he also found it disrespectful twords me and they got a long lecture over respecting women and other peoples belongings then took a few licks a piece over it. All of Boswells teachers are good at what they do well some of them anyways but none of them will ever amount to what Mrs. Snow and Mr. Lindly have. They are amazing teachers and I love them both very much.
