Finding Mrs. Warnecke

"But it turns out that rejection is a positive thing."

"But then in walked

Mrs. Warnecke,

a pretty young

teacher with a

teased bob hairstyle

and a smile

that filled the

entire classroom."

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

-Henry Brooks Adams

By: Sarah Pingel, Hannah Spoolstra, & Kenny Chan

"Since the year I taught my lunch bunch class, I've made a commitment to really get to know my students."

"School was mine that year, and everything that happened in there was my own magical world."

"Once the students arrived, I realized I really wasn't prepared to teach."

"I heard about your room-I just came to see it."

"One of my goals is for there to be not one boring moment in my class...Someone always announces, "She's going crazy again!" But one thing is for sure: I have everyone's attention."

"As a veteran teacher looking back at my students-those who struggled as well as those who became successful-I can at least feel sure that I did "whatever it took" to be a caring teacher and to inspire all my students."

"And then I saw her. Mrs. Warnecke. My Mrs. Warnecke. She looked the very same!"

"I told him that everyone has a Mrs. Warnecke, that we all have teachers that make a impact on us, but that many times the teachers never find out that they've made a difference"
