Your Everyday Hero: Lauren M.

Lauren M. is my World Geography teacher and this is my second year having her (she was my world history teacher last year). She is always there for all of her students. I tell her all my problems and she always has really good advice to give me. After our conversation is finished, I always feel better. She started a Values Project this year. Every class we have a different value (like "right choices" and "tolerance"), values from this site. We all have to go use that value in our life that week and write it in a journal. She makes a difference in all her students' lives. My life was terrible and she helped me out and helped me want to be a better person. That is why she is "My Hero."
