Mr. Coker is my favorite teacher this year.  He teaches 9th grade English. 

Mr. Coker is one of the funniest, yet genuine teachers I have ever met.  It's obvious just how much he cares for the kids.  He always greets us with a smile on his face and makes learning fun and interesting.

I wish all my teachers could be like him.  If it wasn't for Mr. Coker, I would dread going to school each and every day.  Mama and Daddy think he's wonderful because he encourages his students and if one of us has a problem, he makes himself available to help us whenever it is needed.

My name is Danny.  I am in the 9th grade here at Coleman High School here in Coleman, Georgia.  I am 14 years old and live with my family; I have a mom, a step-dad (my real dad died three years ago to cancer; I still miss him; but then Mom met Garrett, and married him shortly thereafter).  I have two step sisters, but I really don't get along with them; they say I'm too moody.  I'm sorry; I can't help it.  This time of year is hard for me; I still miss my dad very, very much.

When I grow up, I want to be a teacher like Mr. Coker.  I don't mind the thought of going to college; if I could be half as good of a teacher as Mr. Coker is, then I would have it made!
