Your Everyday Hero: James F.

Mr. James F., a 7th grade science teacher, is my hero. He has been teaching a very long time and he has inspired so many people. He has taught the mothers and fathers of some of his students. He is my hero because over the years science is always going to be hard but he always pushed people to do the very best they could. He never yells. He always has patience. He would just look at you and raise his eyebrow. He taught me so much in my year as a 7th grader and he is teaching so many more kids. Hopefully he will never retire because so many more students should have the joy of him being their teacher. He put up with all my stupid questions, but I learned so much. With all the character traits he uses to teach us about life science, he is the #1 hero in my eyes.
