Over the course of twelve years of school, I have had a wide assortment of teachers; all with very different teaching styles and personalities. There have been bad teachers, good teachers, and even a few great ones. None, however, come close to my seventh grade science teacher, Mr. Pulley.
There is no single defining trait about Mr. Pulley that makes him a step above the rest. Everything about this man makes me admire him, even to this day. First of all, this is a guy that looked like he should have retired about twenty years ago. Not to say that he looked particularly wealthy, more so that he was just plain old. This, in addition to the fact that his seventh grade science class was a bunch of wild, hormone-infused preteens, makes it impressive to me that he even wanted the job. Regardless, Mr. Pulley greeted us every single day with a smile on his face and an objective in mind. He was always very patient with his students, and very thorough in his lessons. This was a teacher that actually cared about what he did, that strived to be a positive influence on all the lives that he touched. In my opinion, this is the kind of person that makes the biggest difference in the world around them. Mr. Pulley took pride in what he did every single day. There is no doubt in my mind that my seventh grade science teacher is the most worthy of my admiration.
