Growing up I think we all must have had a favorite teacher of ours. That one teacher who inspired us the most and taught us to not limit our potential and reach our goals.
I remember my favorite teacher. Her name was Mrs. Krnac, my 5th-grade teacher from Willow Elementary School in Cleveland, Ohio. I attribute her to teaching me that nothing was impossible and that a dream could come true if you work hard enough at it.
Thinking about teachers from the past, and those who are teaching today, Tom wanted to do a giveaway that honors them for the sacrifices, dedication, and devotion they gave us and the students that are being taught today.

My favorite teacher was my Jr. High history teacher, Mr. Jack Corum. He made history come alive, especially American history (8th grade). He would lecture and share fascinating information and facts that were not in our textbook. We would scramble to take notes while getting lost in Civil War battles. He’s retired now, but was a wonderful teacher and a true gentleman. I still have an interest in American history because of his teaching and sharing his passion for the subject with his classes.
