Day of the Teacher

Today is the Day of the Teacher. Let's all take a moment to recognize a teacher who impacted us. This year, I honor Mr. Bailey. He was my 7th and 8th grade English teacher who demystified the English language by teaching how to diagram sentences. This helped me become a much better writer and speaker. He was a dedicated, knowledgeable professional and the first African-American man I had seen teach. I wonder what he is doing and where he is now.
