Over the course of your school career, there are bound to be multiple people -- teachers, librarians, counselors -- who help you along the way and make a difference in your life. It's also true, however, that most of us recall that one person who really had a profound impact on us, who changed us for the better, and whose presence stays with us long after we're finished with school.
For Galahad series author Dom Testa, that person was 10th grade English teacher Mrs. Sherilyn Hanks. And the story of her impact on his life, and of their reconnection more than three decades later, was recently featured in a story by Charles G. Anderson in the Abilene Reporter-News.
Would it surprise you to learn that the man who makes his living on the radio (as host of Mix 100's Dom and Jane Show) grew up a shy, quiet boy in a military family that moved every two years? Well, it's true.
Dom left Abilene for Denver way back in 1986, but the impact that Mrs. Hanks had on his life has endured. What about you? Who was your favorite teacher, and what was the difference they made in your life?
