My tenth grade chemistry teacher is easily one of the nicest people I will ever meet. He knows how to teach a class and have fun with it in a perfect combination. We always said that his classes were 15 minutes of life lessons, and 30 minutes of chem. If I was to list all of the things that have been amusing in that class, this post would go on forever. To begin with, he has an obsession with chocolate, especially M and M's. We were always told to imagine electrons as green M and M's, and he would include these on his powerpoint presentations. Also, he had tons of little sayings to help us remember things. The best thing about him was how confident he was with himself. He would make fun of himself and the students, and we returned in kind. If we didn't know the answer to a question, he would say, "Yes? No? So's your momma?" (To which we replied the latter, of course.) Most importantly, he taught us the three answers to life: bonding structures, molecular mass, and chocolate.
