Best Teacher?

If I had to choose one teacher who has positively impacted me over the years here at Alden Central School District, I would have to go with former choral teacher, Andy Buscemi. I met him in sixth grade general music and had him as a vocal teacher for sixth, seventh, ninth, tenth, and eleventh grade. As a student I find myself learning best when I can connect with a teacher in some sort of way. Mr. Buscemi was actually one of the people who influenced me to be the Apple Computers enthusiast I am now. In sixth grade general music we had a project where we had to use his macbook to create a jingle to be used in a fake commercial. Using his laptop made me realize how much I wanted a mac. Along with all of that he was a great choral teacher. In middle school he had to put up with children who wanted to be a part of the chorus and take it seriously, and also kids who didn't care and showed him little respect. This never bothered him, or at least he never showed that it got to him. Later in High School we became better friends. He even volunteered his own time out of school to come and take promo pictures for my band. He was a cool guy to say the least.
