I had a 1st grade teacher at St. Thecla School in Clinton TWP, MI named Sr. Teresitta. She was a Polish speaking nun and one of the best teachers I ever had. She taught her students how to read at a 3rd grade level by the end of the year, was totally dedicated to her students, and she was the reason I wanted to be a nun as a young child. Although that isn’t the path my life took me on, I think about her all of the time and I am so grateful she was my teacher. She was strict, but loving and I thought she was the most amazing person as a child. I have very fond memories of her and will cherish them for the rest of my life.
