My Favorite Teacher -- Ella Servadio

     My favorite teacher is my 8th grade English teacher, Mrs. Donna Britt. This woman has been through a lot in her lifetime, but she always remained so optimistic. She taught me so much more than how to properly punctuate a sentence. 
     Mrs. Britt had this infectious energy about her. You couldn't help but smile anytime you walked into her classroom. She had this way of grabbing your attention while teaching, even if she was just sitting at her podium lecturing. One day, while we were having devotional during her class, she just stopped and began to cry. She said, "Boys and girls, no matter how hard school gets or how hard life gets, know the Lord will guide you through it. Take this from me, never once has He left me." This really stuck with me. I remember this moment so vividly. Every time I get stressed about how much school work I have, or I think about how much better my life could be; I always remember her saying this. 
     I will always have a special place in my heart for Mrs. Britt. She was always so uplifting. She really impacted me throughout my eighth-grade year. She's retired now, but I'm sure she's still imparting her wisdom on students any time she gets the chance.
