I ADMIT I HAD SOME ROUGH TIMES AT MAXWELL BUT OVERALL I HAD FUN. ONE TEACHER I WOULD SAY I AM THANKFUL FOR IS MRS.KAREN KOCH. SHE IS A TOUGH TEACHER. I ADMIT I DID NOT LIKE HER WHILE I ATTENDED MAXWELL. HOWEVER AFTER I GRADUATED AND WENT ON TO COLLEGE SHE HAS HELPED AND PREPARED ME FOR THE FUTURE. WHILE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL I JUST DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN. I JUST THOUGHT SHE WAS MEAN FOR NO REASON, KIND OF LIKE THE GRINCH. NOW I KNOW SHE DID ALL THAT BECAUSE SHE REALLY CARED IF WE MADE IT IN THIS WORLD. I THINK WE NEED MORE TEACHERS LIKE HER.
MRS. KOCH WAS THERE EARLY FOR EXTRA HELP. SHE EVEN HELPED AFTER SCHOOL HOURS IF YOU NEEDED IT. I CAN SAY SHE KEPT HER CLASS IN CHECK AND KNEW HER STUFF. STUDENTS IN HER CLASS PROBABLY SAYING THE SAME THING IM SAYING HOW CAN ANYONE LIKE MRS.KOCH BUT ONCE THEY GRADUATED AND GO TO COLLEGE THEY WILL LEARN TO RESPECT AND THANK MRS. KOCH FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERL TEACHER. SO I SAY MRS. KAREN KOCH, THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME GET READY FOR THE REAL WORLD. I NEEDED IT.
