Somewhere along the way, we’ve all had a teacher who changed our lives.

A schoolteacher, a parent, a coach, a friend — learning comes in many forms, and so do teachers. As part of its ” Man on the Street” series, SoulPancake set out to hear about the teachers who work every day to change lives.

We’ve all got some spectacular teachers in our lives. So, what do you say…
