We know that influence is everything for a kid. It comes from parents, neighbors, friends, and teachers. The latter matter the most, actually, as kids in their pre-teens are spending time with them that is equal or more compared to the time they enjoy their parents’ company. As the list below shows, many people have been influenced by their teachers and by something they have said to them. The topic was started on Reddit and it is a pleasure following it. You can read the whole thread on Reddit.
