MY BEST TEACHER IN HIGH SCHOOL

When i was in my last year of high school,i had one teacher by the name mr Alex that i used to like better than others.he used to teache me economics and he was the best teacher that everyone could ever know in the whole school.Since we where about to do our final exams and graduate with good points,he had to put too much emphasis on our class so that we come out with good grades in his subject.Three weeks to the final exam,we had a discussion in the class and since everyone was on tension, all students attended it.
The discussion started at 11 oclock when mr Alex enterd the class. We all payed atension and whatever he was asking atleast everyone had an aidia of the question. the class went on smoothly up to the time it was surposed to end and that was at 1 oclock in the afternoon.Sudenly the teacher came out with a question which i dont remember now that defited everyone and remember that it was time for lunch everyone is hungry waiting to go and put something in the stomach.The teacher was like no one is going out till you get the correct answer.the whole class that was happy for lunch time turned there faces angry and when i thought of my self i just cried because i had taken the whole day without eating anything expecting to take something during that time.O my God that was the worst time that i had never expected.the students tried to trick our teacher to let us out but he could not and one boy came from his sit asking the teacher to let him out atleast a short col and the teacher was like urinate in any of the coners in the calss.ofcourse he couldn't do it and he sat back to his place.All this happened and i realized that he was teaching us how to THINK..By the time he let us out,we had tried our best to think and we found the answer.We left the class but lunch time had ended.we looked for the food in every coner of the school but nothing we found and we had to go back in the class for another subject.Since that day i could look at my best teacher like my worst teacher i have ever meet.
Time came we did our finals and the question was there too and almost the all class passed that question that made us think.He bacame my best teacher the second time after i passed economics and whenever i find him any where,i could remind him that day.I will live to remember the teacher who made me think when hungry and crying.Mr Alex.

Mr. Alex seems like an exceptional teacher. He taught you not only about economics but also about life. Those lessons often last longer than lessons about a subject. Teaching a person to think is every good teacher's desire, but it is difficult to achieve. You used good details to make your point in your story.
