Deborah Rozeboom - Favorite Teacher

During one year of my high school (I can’t remember which), Everything was beautiful in one particular class. Books were not required. Only imagination and creativity were Revered! An outstanding teacher fresh out of college Held me enraptured that one entire semester. Rather than drone on with lectures, she inspired us to Own our uniqueness! Zestfully she approached Each “teaching” moment with interesting lessons. By having us sit in a circle really listening to one another, she Opened up our minds, allowing us to voice Our opinions and then express them through descriptive writing. Much appreciation I have for the amazing teaching of Ms. Rozeboom. Oct. 20, 2019 for Chantelle Anne Cooke's "Favorite Teacher or Professor" Poetry Contest

She opened up a world of descriptive writing, because you are so good at it. So thankful she entered your life and brought this gift of writing with such descriptive flare, for us to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

I did have a professor that did the same thing , it was different with a feeling of closeness, easy to share, and very enjoyable. Perfect for the contest.
