I would have to say my favourite teacher was my high school English teacher Ms. Buizer. I had her first in grade 9 and coming into that class she made it very warm and welcoming right from the get-go. She was a newer, younger teacher, eager to be there it seemed. She loved what she did and wanted to be there, making me want to be there, much like the Fish Philosophy! She made her classes fun as she had a great sense of humour. Ms. Buizer was always honest, and told it how it was, that attribute made me respect her, even if at times that honesty wasn't always what one wanted to hear. She was pretty laid back and easy going, but at the same time caring about those in her class and in the school.
I still keep in contact with Ms. Buizer, she was a great reference for the application process to getting into Education, and I keep her up to date with my progress so far.
I would also have to say another of my favourite teachers was my grandma. She retired early to run the family business, so I never knew her as a school room teacher, but I learned so much from her as she lived right next door. In 2005, she passed away from cancer and I was hit pretty hard by it, which I think further sparked my interested in being a teacher.
