I enjoyed reading this club entry and I'm happy you shared it with us. Thank you.
I was the worse critic I had. (We often are.)
It helped me to improve my speaking and writing skills. (I would omit 'to')

Another fine write, Gypsy....count yourself lucky that she was there to gently coax a talent that only she saw out of you. A great teacher is wonderful to have, just as a terrible one damages your phyche.

Hello, Mike,
I had my share of bad teachers in catholic school, who gave me nightmares.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem. 😊

Oh, you were so lucky to find a teacher who encouraged you. I had the opposite experience. A teacher told me I would never make it as a writer and I believe him. Didn't write for twenty years. This was wonderful. Gretchen

Comment from Rachelle Allen
The Educator in me absolutely LOVES reading stories like this. I love learning of the differences a good teacher has made in a student's life. Did you keep in touch with her?

This is an incredible piece, Gypsy. I wish I had such a teacher in my school days. I have, however, found them here on FS and have grown exponentially. Thank you for sharing Mrs. Whipple with us, my friend. It has inspired my day.
God bless,
Steve

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork and presentation, Gypsy.
-You wrote a very good tribute for Mrs. Whipple.
-What you write can be applicable to a lot
of young women like yourself.
-You are lucky that Mrs. Whipple cared enough
to bring out the best of you and also had
a special writer's group at her home.
-She reminds me of my English teacher
my senior year in high school.
-Thanks for sharing about her.

I enjoyed reading this story, found it to be well written and relatable. My encouragement came from my English Language teacher, Mrs Mack, and my Spanish teacher Ms. Ramkalawan. I like you theme and the way you presented your story.

I think we always remember the teachers who encourage us. I would love to meet a few of my old teachers again, they were really instrumental in my writing as well. An excellent piece, I enjoyed reading it.

I wish I had taken a writing class back then. I hated english but loved writing stories, go figure. I had a number of teachers and proffesors that have helped me along. But FanStory has helped me with the writing. Loved your story Gypsy.
