Answer Example
"I had a teacher in Grade 5 who taught us that she cared for all of us, and for our individual success. She was attentive and wrote impactful affirmations on the chalk board every morning. Those written affirmations were the boost of confidence that I needed many days. I love the quote from Josh Shipp that says 'Every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story.' It's absolutely true and this teacher lived by that philosophy."
