I would like to thank all my super-duper teachers from Mrs. 
Goldsmith, Miss Stewart, Mr. Chadwin to Mr. Williams and so on, but I would like to give a special thanks to Mr. D.N. Franco. I found guidance, friendship, discipline, everything in one person and that person is Mr. D.N. Franco. He was my coach since my first day of junior high. After that he became my science teacher. He is well respected throughout the school. He encouraged and pushed us to go above and beyond. He makes our class environment very enjoyable. Science was not my favorite subject but since he became my teacher, I turned into a Science Explorer. I always remember his quote. "Remember that although you may one day stop growing physically, you should never stop growing intellectually." I thank you for guiding me through the last 3 years.
