Looking back, it was my parents though you couldn't have convinced me at the time...........

I would also have to say that there was a little from many.  Sometimes people just don't realize that the encouraging words that they speak, can be remembered for a life time.

All of the above...I've learned

a lot through life from many

different people.

My parents and grandparents who lived with us.

My (Late)Dad was...and still is!!!:-)

I have had many, mostly teachers, one boss, a great friend, my mom and an auntie.  what made me think about this question is that I am composing a letter to the former boss, who is an elderly man who I will never see again.  He has told a friend that he has returned to WV to his homestead, and home that he was born in, to die.  That made me wonder if he knew how he had mentored me as a young man thrown into the teaching profession, for which I did not plan, or prepare in college.  I did retire from a very successful career 4 yrs. ago after teaching high school, for 35 yrs. in one school.  I will work on my letter to him with all the good vibes from all of your stories, thank you.
