I had a wonderful, colourful geography teacher for three years leading up to GCE exams (yay, Mrs. Rauseo!) and she's at least partly responsible for my love of all things geographic.Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-10411348449068653332010-12-09T11:30:42.265-05:002010-12-09T11:30:42.265-05:00Shakespeare had very little impact on me, but Harp...Shakespeare had very little impact on me, but Harper Lee did. She didn't necessarily affect my writing style, but content.<br /><br />Charles is right. We feel the impact of people who influence us directly. As an English teacher you probably have influenced more people than you imagine.<br /><br />My first and second grade English teacher, Ms Bowry, had a great impact on my writing.Jewel Amethysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813773386476356666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-26309869161409759462010-12-09T06:13:02.978-05:002010-12-09T06:13:02.978-05:00Debs, I think I have his entire collection.

Of course, the folks who influenced me, and those that influenced you, were probably influenced by some of the same people in their own lives so we get their influences second hand perhaps.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
