I had a wonderful teacher in grade 11 and 12. I was in a cook's training program at my highschool and my teacher was the most caring and enthusiastic teacher I had ever had. He REALLY cared about his students, he loved his job, he LOVED to cook, and he was very encouraging. Not only was he an excellent teacher, but he cared about us as people, not just as students. If any of us had any problems at home or with friends he was always there for us. We became good friends after graduation. We still email eachother a couple times a year, and just last year he came to my wedding! I learned alot from him, and not just about cooking.. about life.
