TRUSSVILLE Everyone has that special teacher that they remember. Maybe you remember your English teacher because she taught you how to communicate effectively and become an excellent writer. Maybe you had a sweet spot for your science teacher because he helped build the foundation that allowed you to become a doctor. Perhaps you remember your kindergarten teacher because she was your first teacher. Oh, that smile and welcoming voice was always comforting to you because you didn’t like when your mom dropped you off at school. Somehow, knowing your teacher would be with you all day helped you get through those trying times.
