Doc, My Favorite Teacher

Perhaps my favorite teacher of all time has to be Dr. Libbey-Landis. Throughout my time spent in high school Doc seemed to always be there for me. As her student she expected more out of me than other students and pushed me to be the best I could. She was always available for extra help and would go over our homework, which was nightly bible study, if we had questions about the word of God. She always respected the non believers in her classes. She taught me Catholic history sophomore year, a sort of coming of age time for my friends and I. Junior year, Doc helped us through even more high school drama, be it girls, grades or our college woes. She was my confidant and mentor. It was often said that she knew more about us than we did. It was sad to see her go senior year and we all miss her very much. She exemplifies the type of teacher I want my children to have. The kind of woman I would want my daughter to look up to. Doc's caring and love for her students made her the best teacher I have ever had.
