School: Dover HS
Subjects: Algebra and Geometry
Grades: 10-12
Nominated by: Autumn Foraker
10th Grade Geometry
I’ve chosen my geometry teacher, Mr. Smith, out of all my other teachers because he’s impacted my life and my school work more than anyone else. Because of him I finished off the first marking period with a 98% in his class, and that was all because of the time and effort he’s taking out of his day after school to help me when I need it. He takes from his own personal time to tutor students after school despite how busy he is. He ALWAYS makes time for us. Because of him and the way he teaches, I enjoy geometry. He makes it easy to understand and easier to remember what’s being taught in class. He wants nothing more than for his students to succeed and expects absolutely nothing in return for his good deeds. He really deserves recognition for all his hard work and dedication to his students. He deserves it more than anyone.
