My teacher puts a lot of effort into helping individual students. It
isn't all teachers. In fact my teacher put so much into our band that
when he got sick with Hodgkins Lymphoma we all put an effort to help
raise money so that he could get the medical treatment. He wasn'tt here
for half the year, but we still held together as a band and got a 1 at
contest. He is the greatest teacher that ever lived. He taught us to
stay together and work things out even if times are hard. So all
teachers aren't bad.
