Elementary: Had several that helped me build a good foundation.
HS: One standout my HS French teacher who helped me realize my potential.
College: Two professors who helped me understand difficult material in an easy way. And some clinical instructors who helped make it fun.
Coaching: I saw a plaque the other day related to coaching. I was thinking of picking up two to send to two of DS’s old coaches because it was true. I think I still might. DS was fortunate to have these two men in his life who not only taught him to play the game, but instilled in him a sense of self-discipline, sportsmanship, leadership, service, and how to be a respectable person, among other things, all of which are serving him well now in his adult life.

(Just adding that, it wasn’t as if we didn’t also teach these things to DS, too, but somehow it was different coming from a coach; it was something DS chose to do despite the difficulty and could’ve walked away from at any time, etc.)
Good thread, @PollyannaMom! I try to be cognizant every day of my blessings in life.![Title :sunny: :sunny:](http://www.disboards.com/data/smilies/sunny.gif)
