Yet at the end of the semester when report cards came out, I had an “A” next to my English class, and I realized that the letter he had written on my report card was just a way to make me work harder than I ever had.He made me push myself to think deeper, write better, and analyze more thoroughly. He didn’t hate me as I initially thought, and I looked back embarrassed about all those times when I showed frustration and dissatisfaction with a returned grade.

　　He would write a positive comment on one of my papers that would invigorate_me to work even harder even if I made a little bit progress. These sporadic (零星的) good words would motivate me to do whatever it took to earn those praising comments on my next paper and push me to try and top my last assignment. After we all improved he expected perfection and those high standards made all of us better writers, creators, good students, and useful people.

　　Mr. Goodney inspired me to become an English teacher although I felt like I fell below his standards in a classroom. Now I have become a high school teacher. Thinking of him from time to time makes me try to come up with fresh and creative teaching ways just as he did.

　　From my experience I believe a good teacher is very important. Mr. Goodney inspires me to this day, and I wish I could travel back to the 9th grade for just one day in the old classroom, so I can fully thank him, which I didn’t do at that time.
