 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Question

Talk about an instructor who has made an impact on your life and why. Use details and examples to support your response.

 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Answer

The instructor who has made the most impact on my life is an instructor who I only had for a one month class. It was not the time in class, or what I learned in class that made the most impact on me. It was the time spent outside of class that made the impact. When I first met this instructor, I found out he could speak two of the foreign languages that I was currently studying. He had already mastered these, and this gave me great hope for myself and someone to practice with outside of class. He has traveled and lived in several different countries that I want to live in; so, he has taught me many things that are really important to me and that will really help me in the future.
