A School Teacher

 A school teacher I remember was Mrs Burrows, who was my first English teacher when I moved to school in England. I was born in Wales between Mold and Buckley, but I moved to Chester, in England, when I was 6 years old. 

I don't really remember any of my teachers in Wales but Mrs Burrows made a big impression. She was always jolly. She smiled a lot, and I remember her as a very gentle person. The main thing I remember from the English classes is the stories she used to tell us. Her and her husband had lived many years in China working as missionaries and she loved to tell us about her travels and experiences. 

I also remember we read short stories and poems in class and then worked to create our own stories and poems. It was a long time ago but I distinctly remember being very proud of a poem I wrote about a leaf. I can't remember how many years Mrs Burrows taught me but it can only have been 2 or 3. Unfortunately, her and her husband died in a car crash whilst on holiday in Italy. If my memory is correct, that happened in my final year at High School (but I'm not 100% sure). I think the last I saw Mrs Burrows was at the end of my penultimate year at Middle School.

I think the most important thing Mrs Burrows taught me was to use my imagination. I was inspired by her stories and I guess her encouragement to write poems was the start of me writing songs.

Here's a photo of my Middle School.
