A Williamson County teacher that has influenced you:
Wendy Bargatze really encouraged me to learn and challenge myself. She also deeply cared for her students. I lost both my grandmother and dog that year and she was very sympathetic and comforting. One day in class she read us a story about a young child whose grandmother had died and the mother’s comforting words to the child were also a great comfort to me. Ms. Bargatze let me keep the book for a while so I could share the story with my family, especially my little sister.

A Williamson County teacher that has influenced you:
Wendy Hart has an innovative and energetic teaching style, making her class fun, relaxing, but at the same time very informative.
