My inspiration for becoming a high school art teacher is simple, Mrs. Johnson. With her calm demeanor, long hair and overalls, their was nothing about Mrs. Johnson that I didn't admire. In her art class, Mrs. Johnson's critiques were gentle yet informative. Having a teacher who was caring and passionate about not only her students but art was life changing. Her soothing voice and friendly ear sticks with me today as I strive to make an impact on my students as Mrs. Johnson did on me.
