My grade 6 & 7 teacher, Mr. O'Connor, was a teacher that I have often considered to be my primary inspiration for getting into education. This is primarily due to the fact that though I don't remember any specific lessons on math, english or similar, he taught our class a number of social justice lessons that have stuck with me. He was also a teacher that had excellent classroom management skills, as he rarely displayed signs of aggravation, but we could still tell when he was disapproving in our behaviour. Due to my enormous amount of respect for him, I was more motivated to achieve and to listen to what he had to offer.
