My name is Luilly Vargas and I am currently a senior at A. Philip Randolph High School who anticipates graduating in June 2008. I would like to thanks Mr. Duval of Junior High School 143 Eleanor Roosevelt who was my math teacher from 6th grade until 8th grade.
As my senior year approaches its end, I reflect on the teachers who had the most influence on me. The teacher who had the most influence on me was Mr. Duval. He helped me improve when I was struggling in math. Furthermore he gave me support when I felt I could not achieve the academic performance I wanted. He was a teacher who made the class enjoyable and facilitated the learning process for me. My sister who presently attends the school has not had the opportunity to have him as a teacher but tell me he still teaches. I would like to distinguish this teacher from the rest for his encouraging support which he gave me during my junior high school years.
