When I walk into Mr. Murray’s room, I always expect it to smell like the buttered popcorn that he usually gives out to us during leadership class or some other kind food he provides for us for that evening.  He has been my favorite teacher ever since I started to sign up for his fun-filled leadership classes even though you are only allowed to attend his leadership class for one trimester each year, which I don’t enjoy. He assumes to be so favored to most students that they drop by to say hi to him every time they pass by his class. Also, did I forget to mention that he teaches a science class? Well, he does, but I don’t have him as a science teacher, which makes me feel glum at times since he would be a fun science.
   There are many reasons that he is my favorite teacher of all time, but there are only two main reasons why.  You might think this is just a fantasy teacher, but he is not since he is definitely real which is the opposite of a fairytale. We learn a whole lot in the leadership class and we also have fun; I guess those are the two main reasons why I enjoy him as a teacher so much.

  He makes learning fun like it’s something that comes naturally to him.  For many teachers, It is even hard for them themselves alone to enjoy learning, but to make others enjoy it?  That’s a pretty hard job to accomplish all at once.
    I’ve  heard rumors about some of the most interesting experiments he has done in his science classes since my brother has him as a science teacher which is unfair by far limits.  Once, he tried an experiment on if you can charge a phone by plugging it’s cord in a watermelon.  That might not sound as thrilling as you thought, but it’s definitely better than other science experiments by a long shot.   Even though they are silly little rumors, I believe them based on what I know on how much fun he is around students including teachers.

   I bet it was also for an educational purpose since he does the same thing in leadership class.  Leadership class is where you learn how to become a leader in small ways and how it benefits others around you.  He has this humongous book that has lessons and activities for every day that gradually turns you into a leader.  I feel like the classes have benefited me in a big way that I can’t explain.  I enjoy learning about it and actually experiencing it in real life. 

So in conclusion, have learned a lot of knowledge on how to become a leader as if it come naturally to me and I think I will use that knowledge for good reasons other than bad.  That’s what makes Mr. Murray my favorite teacher.  You also can’t forget about how much fun he is!  I wonder if I will ever have another favorite teacher later on in my life.
