I took an independent study class in college, and the professor truly cared about my success as a student and as a person.  He taught me how to write at a higher ability and how to think critically about the information I was reading and learning about.

We were studying the Holocaust.  I was so moved by the stories of the people who survived (some of my family members included).  My teacher held a writing contest - the winners would go to the Statehouse and listen to a survivor speak.  It was the best essay I had ever written; I cried listening to the gentleman tell us about surviving the concentration camps.  This was 8th grade.
