Describe a favorite teacher or one that you remember well. How did they inspire you in school?
My favorite teacher was my high school Biology/Zoology teacher, Mr. Allee. He saw my potential and expected nothing less. It's because of him that I started taking my Biology class more seriously and ended up with A's in the class. I liked Mr. Allee so much that I took him for Zoology and was his teacher's assistant. He was always kind, helpful and a wonderful teacher from whom I learned a great deal about science.
Daily reminders to help with journal writing
Why keep a daily journal?
Keeping a journal is one of the best ways to preserve your family history. Each day a topic will be posted to help you with your daily journal writing. Your entries can be as short or as long as you wish, just as long as you're writing! Your children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren will thank you for it.
You are also welcome to leave comments describing your own experiences if you would like.
My parents, who are both deceased, did not keep journals, however, I do have all the letters they wrote to each other while dating and while my father was in the Navy. After reading those letters, I was able to gain a better understanding of their relationship and see what they were like as young adults. I learned that my mother really did understand what my life was like as a teenager.

When we are in tune with the Spirit, “the Lord whispers things into our minds, and what one then writes can become inspirational to one’s descendants. When we write by the Spirit and they read by the Spirit, there is a godly communication between us and them” (Theodore M. Burton).

Hi Jill - this is a cool blog. Thanks for sharing such a great idea and so much about yourself. My favorite teacher was my high school Biology teacher too. Mr Prochnau was so funny. He always made us laugh and made learning fun. In all my years as a student, it took until I was a sophomore to meet a teacher that actually inspired me. It wasn't that I loved Biology, it was that learning was fun.
One time he had a big scrape on his elbow and was scratching at the scab, grossing all of us girls out. Well, he asked if anyone had ever eaten a scab, which of course, grossed us out even more. He then picked off a little piece and ate it, saying "What... it's just like eating a little beef jerky...you know...dried up raw flesh..." To this day, I cannot eat beef jerky, thanks to Mr. Prochnau.
