Did you have a college professor that really inspired or touched your life forever? Why/How?

Question

Did you feel there was no way you could repay them for how much they meant to you?

Answer 1

Yes. Dr. Brown. He was not only a great professor but he also always reached out to his students to help them through personal troubles. His office door was always open and he'd get you a cup of coffee and you could just talk to him. He was so inspirational (and not in the religious way). He made you think you could accomplish anything you set your mind to, which really helped me get through his program. If it wasn't for him, I probably would have dropped out.

And there is no way I can thank him for everything. I'll remember him forever.

Answer 2

Yes, YES, I was fortunate to have several. The first I will thank is Dr. Brown at the U. of Toledo in Ohio. The best educator I've met in college setting. His students give him his doctorate out of respect, Some may say he only had a masters, but he was well beyond that. It's not how much know, but how much you can pass on that counts in the end. Baldemar Valasquez affected me greatly . College is not just in a building. I worked the fields and later for justice Thank you for your question.

Answer 3

I have been lucky in that I had several undergrad profs who were amazing and highly influential. 2 were philosophy profs, one was a history prof.
all three were absolutely brilliant women, insightful, honest, trusting and trustworthy. Each inspired me in her own way to be the best person and student i could be.
Without continued contact and support from them i'm not sure if i would be able to continue on with my ph.d

Answer 4

I didn't have a college professor, but a high school teacher. My art teacher, Mr. Spiegalhalter, rocked! He went above and beyond for us and was a fountain of information about artists and techniques.
