It was my first day of sixth grade. I looked at my schedule and saw that I had Mrs. Foxwell and this made me happy. Over the next three years, Mrs. Foxwell taught me many important things that I would never forget.

Of all the teachers and coaches I have had in my life, Mrs. Foxwell has been my favorite leader. In her class, she taught me how to be a successful leader. She also taught me that good leaders could earn everyone's respect.

Mrs. Foxwell is one of the most respected and respectful people I know. She is always kind to everyone and she treats others the way that she wants to be treated. She taught me respect in many different ways, but mainly how to be respectful in the business world. She told me that I needed to have a firm handshake and that I should always look people in the eye when I talked to them. Mrs. Foxwell also taught me that you could earn someone's respect by working hard to achieve your goals.

 In addition to working at Brandywine Springs, Mrs. Foxwell once worked at a bank as a manager but she gave that up to teach kids how to be successful. Mrs. Foxwell told our class how she would cry because of the amount of work she had to do in very little time. She taught our class that working all night at something you didn't love was very stressful, so you should try and do something you loved. I don't think I have ever worked as hard in any class as I have in her class. I created my own 28­page business plan to share with her, my parents, other teachers and my classmates. Although creating a business from nothing was a lot of hard work, I really enjoyed it and learned several lessons that would help me throughout life.

I have had a lot of role models in my life, but one of the biggest is Mrs. Foxwell. She taught me leadership qualities, how to be respectful and why I should work hard. She has changed my life for the better and I desire to be like her.
