When you think about teachers that you had in your life you inmmediately makes an unconcious categorization, between good and bad teachers. When you are at school your categorization is influenced by feelings mostly, because you are not able to recognice a good or bad teacher yet with objectivity.
When you are at university in the begining it's not so different, but when you got more experience, and especially if you are studying education you can make a more objective categorization. You can recognize who is teaching you real things, who is teaching you something that really will help you in your life and you always think about what he or she said to you or taught you.
Nowadays I can say that I had very mediocre teachers at school because I don't have any good memories of them. I can say that a few were interested in my learning, especially in maths, in which I was awful, and I had teachers that were very sympathic, but nobody left me a kind of "mark" on my life.
At university I've meet really good teachers, maybe can because I am studying something that I chose, and a place that I chose too. So everything is different, the experience, the classmates, and especially the teachers. For example last semester I had an native English speaker teacher called Pixita Del Prado. I just fell in love with her, because she taught me so many things, she helped me to decide what I want in my future, in professional terms, and she was very sympathic, patien, and really concerned about us. So she left a "mark" in my life. Another teacher that I admire is Virginia Fernández, because she knows a lot, she always helps me, and she showed us how to be a good teacher, a teacher that everyone will remember, because you do a good job.
I just hope to be a good teacher, and I will fight for it.
