Student Stories "Mr. Ferriola was truly my best
teacher in HS. He made learning so much fun. He
understood that everyone learned differently and
as long as you could prove how you derived at
your answers he was ok with that. He was always
available whether it was after school or before.
He was truly awesome. He encouraged you to reach
for the stars and go get those goals and if I was
to become a teacher I'd want to be like him and
no other."Kerryann Evans, Mount Vernon High
School, New York Stop for a minute and think
about a teacher who made a difference for you.
What can you remember about them? How has your
life been different because of the time you spent
with them? Teachers serve an essential role in
our society and are too rarely recognized for the
difference they make. "Student Stories" gives you
an opportunity to raise awareness of the
contribution that teachers make by sharing your
own personal story of how a teacher made a
difference in your life. These stories are
stored and presented on this web page. They are
available for anyone who is interested in seeing
firsthand the difference that teachers make.
Imagine the difference it could make to a teacher
who has had a hard day or a hard week to be able
to come to this site and see stories of how work
like theirs made a significant difference in
people's lives. Please consider taking the time
to share one of your stories.
