Mr. Di Benedetto has been a great inspiration in my life because he always pushed me and other students to excel. He is more than a teacher to us Far Rockaway High School attendees. He is the reason I rush to English class, he is the reason why I read better. It's not just about reading words off a piece of paper but reading and understanding those words. I run to his class to see what he has up his sleeve!
Mr. D is a very unique teacher, a teacher unlike many. A confused high school student is what I would be in my senior year if it wasn't for him. He has given me above exceptional guidance to colleges, moreso than any other college advisor would. He has made more graduates walk down our Far Rockaway aisle.
