My Teacher

Her name was Ms. Kirby. She was the jr. high girls gym coach. Known all around the school as a lesbean. Almost everyday was the same she would either wear her wrangler jeans that were baggy on her skinny body or navy sweats both would be paired with a plain basic tee. To top off this non form fitting outfit she would wear tennis shoes with out fail everyday. The only makeup she wore was blue mascara her hair was sandy brown with grown out small golden and gray her hair had no layers, was shoulder length and had been tattered from lack of haircuts and brushing. Her eyes were always blood shot and she wore cotton in her ears.. from her apperance she looked like nothing more then a strange looking woman that looked as if very low class.
If looks were everything she would be not be in a good spot but thank goodness she had a sweet loving personality.
In ninth grade i decided to be her teachers assistant. This changed my whole perspective about school, life and teachers. She won me over by always talking to me telling me she knew there was rumors about her being a lesbean (she was not) she blew it off like it was the people that spread the rumors problem and she would never let it bother her. Nearly everyday i would go to the teachers lounge to get her stuff where she would give me money to by myself a diet coke and a grandmas pink fluffy sugar cookie. We talked about everything you can imagine about boys,how she knew different ways to ditch high school classes but the biggest thing she would talk about washer health she never slept this had explained her bloodshot eyes she had more health problems then anyone i had ever known. For one example since she did not sleep she took medicine to sleep it made her ears constantly run which was why she woar the cotton in her ears when this happened her nose would get clogged and she could not breath she had many surgerys to correct her nose and tried many different sleep medication nothing would work this was the beginning of many other probelms she had.
Throughout all of the many things she had going on in her life from health, divorce and others she was one of the most positive and genuine people i have ever known. I really learned alot from her especially the importance of never judging a book by its cover. Education wise she taught me many study skills for high school although she may of not taught me the best habits ( telling me to be an attendance assistant and forge notes so you are excused when you are absent) she helped me to really be excited for high school and years to come. I am really fortuante to have had her touch my life the way she did.
