The speaker reflects on four influential teachers from their past. Mrs. Ramsay, a passionate first-grade teacher, made students feel important. Mrs. Stewart, a fifth-grade teacher, defied norms by teaching Spanish, challenging racial prejudices. Mr. Tedesko, a high school teacher, supported civil rights activism during the McCarthy era. Lastly, Mrs. James, a mentor in Pittsburg, taught the speaker to balance love and discipline in teaching. These educators have left a lasting impact on the speaker's life and teaching philosophy.
