The teacher that really influenced me a lot was Mr. Chen Li. He was the sports teacher when I was in high school. He was in his thirties at that time and I'd say all my classmates admired him because he was a kind of hero to us and also because he was very nice. As far as I can remember, one thing that was special about him was that he'd been on the national volleball team. I don't think he ever actually won a medal or anything like that. Butfor us, just the fact that he usede to represent our country was really something. Actually, he was a very good teacher, very responsible...and dedicated...you knouw. I guess the thing he taught me was to have a fighting spirit. I mean he always encouraged us to do our best in sport, even if we were terrible at it. He uesed to say "It doesn't matter if you win or not. The important thing is to do your best and keep going." He also taught us a lot about health and maintaining a positive attitudetowards life. And compared to other tezchers, he seemed to be more interested in everyone. Luckily, we still keep in touch and I often go to see him on holidays.
