Everyone needs to have passion for their career, but teachers require passion for their career more than any other work since they are working with students. Raising next generation is really important work, and it requires passion. Mrs. Kim was the most passionate teacher I have ever met in my life. She not only puts her effort and times to build a relationship with students as I mentioned above, but also she worked passionately in teaching. She could stay after the office hour to build a relationship with students because she has a passion. She also stayed late to prepare the classes. She always tried to teach us in a new way, so we are able to engage in class well. Students can see and feel when teachers teach with passion and devote completely themselves. My class and I could see passion in her teaching, and it moves us. Her passion draws us to engage with her teaching. One thing that really surprised me was that when she got the question that she did not know. She did not pretend that she knew the question and gave wrong answer. Also, she did not just ignore it.

Kim was not only schoolteacher to me but also mentor to me. She taught me a lot of academic skills but what I most appreciate is her mentoring.

There is much possibility that students could fall into wrong way since they are just teenagers. Therefore, teacher has responsible for guiding students. Mrs. Kim was my favorite teacher and also my favorite mentor. I always went to her when I have a question and problem. She always welcomed me with smile and was willing to offer me her times. When I talked with her, all my problems flew away and found the perfect answer for me. She was also my spiritual mentor. When I was having spiritually down moment, she found me and prayed for me. Furthermore, she gave Bible verse to students to encourage them. It was amazing to see her using Bible verses to encourage non-Christian students. She evangelized and spread the Gospel to students by being an example and as well as directly giving them a Bible verses. I thought that I also want to become a teacher and mentor who can show the Jesus in my behavior and spread a gospel to my students through my job,
