Mrs. Nasello has been an inspiration and a positive role model for me. Although she was firm, she was also loving. I think she contributed a lot towards my resilience. I always think of her as an ideal teacher. As an adult, I can recall what it was like having her as teacher as a child. I decided to go back to P.S. 82 Q after graduating college to see her teaching from an adult perspective. It confirmed why she was my favorite. I had her twice, once in fourth grade and then again for sixth grade. She encouraged me to become a substitute teacher while going to graduate school. It turned out to be a great idea. I want to thank her for teaching me so much. She taught us to sing, "Take me out to the ball game" when the Mets won the World Series. I always remember her when at a baseball game.
