My favorite teacher was my High School English teacher, Ms. Julian. What I remember the most about her was how engaged with the class she was. Every day you felt how much she cared about us as individuals. She had very good boundaries with her personal life (we all thought she was covered in tattoos from her days as a biker – but we would never know), and yet was very open with her thoughts and enjoyment with the world around her. She brought in little tidbits of nature (cool rocks or tree knobs) that she rotated in and out of the classroom. As a student I often lumped my teachers in the category of “people I can’t relate to” – focused only on one aspect of my education – she did not fit into that category. Even when she had bad days, she was good at communicating her expectations of us so that we felt comfortable abiding by them, and somehow that communication made her even more relatable. Ms. Julian was the kind of individual the you could not compare to any other. Wholly unique, honest, and true to herself, she actively inspired us to be as well.
