Through all these years of education,  changing from one school to another,  I have to admit I never loved a teacher as much as Mrs. Karen Brown.  She taught me English in grade 2,  it seems a long time ago,  but yet I can remember her very well.    She was about fifty five at the time with white hair,  brown glasses, a round face and small eyes.   I really thought she looked great.   Mrs. Brown didn’t only teach us English but she made us learn about real life.    I remember her saying, “When I grow up, sit on my rocking chair in my living room and turn on the news,  I don’t want to watch any of you caught as a gangster,  I want to see my kids scientists,  writers or even Nobel winners.”.    She always called us her kids.   We really felt that she was our mother.   Her personality was amazing.   She had everything good you can imagine,  she was kind, helpful, sweet,  fair,  caring,  encouraging, etc…   I always loved reading time because she read the story so good.   We all lived the story as if it was a film on T.V.   Every time I think of my future dreams,   I remember her and try to work hard so one day when she opens the news,   she sees me like Oprah or Shakespear because I want to make her proud of me like she made me grateful to meet some one like her in a life time!
