My high school history teacher, Mr. McLaughlin, is my favourite teacher. I like him not only because of his great teaching style, but also because of what he taught us about life. He always begins his class with a quote. I can still recall some of them, such as “one man with courage makes a majority”. From these quotes, we can learn the wisdom from many historical figures, famous leaders or our ancestors. McLaughlin would share his thoughts and discuss the quotes with us. I also admire his persistence and his positive attitude towards life. No matter what happens, he always has a smile on his face. Even though he was injured for many times while participating in sports, he still doesn’t give up playing hockey and soccer. He still participates in competition from time to time. He has taught us many things beyond text books. This is the greatest lesson I have learned from someone else.
