The two teachers that I will write about are Mr. Huggins, my elementary school teacher and Mr. Escalante, a teacher in the movie Stand and Deliver. An important role Mr. Huggins played in my life was he taught me that it is okay to want to learn more. It is okay to be curious and to strive for success. He also made me realize that it is okay to be wrong. I think I will define his role as being supportive. Whenever I needed help with homework, I knew that I could go after school to see Mr. Huggins and he would be able to help me right away. I chose Mr. Huggins because he believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. He was also someone you could easily talk to whether it was about school, boys, or life.
Mr. Huggins and Mr. Escalante were similar in ways where they were supportive of their students. They also were different where Mr. Huggins did not tolerate name calling at all, he was always quick to catch you if you called someone else stupid, dumb, or even told someone to shut up. On the other hand, Mr. Escalante was ok with calling his students names and not worrying about what other students are saying about each other. Mr. Escalante was more laid back than Mr. Huggins was. Another thing they had in common was that they both were dedicated to their job and both are very passionate teachers. Mr. Huggins always dedicated his time after school and he also had good relations with his students and their families. Mr. Escalante also dedicated his time to his students after school and on weekends and he kept close ties with his students ensuring that they were studying and making himself available if they ever needed any help. I think I have a good idea of what I will be writing about in my second paper and this blog post will help guide me and to help organize my paper.

Good choices--lots of good ground to cover in terms of both similarities and differences!
