Elizabeth Olp

by Susana from Medellin

My hero is Elizabeth Olp. She is a teacher and she works at The Columbus School. She started her job three years ago. It was very difficult for her because she had to stay at school really late. She was born in Chicago. Elizabeth Olp is very positive and patient. She is a very good and nice person. She likes to teach a lot of reading. Elizabeth Olp teaches in Colombia. If you meet her you are going to agree with me: She is a very nice and good person because she is nice with kids and never yells at them.

I think Elizabeth Olp is a hero because she teaches kids how to be good citizens. She teaches math, reading, spelling, writing, etc. She prepared to become a teacher by going to University for four years and she had to help an experienced teacher for one year. She likes to see all the kids in the morning. I think she is a very good teacher. I think she is a hero, don´t you?

In conclusion I think that Elizabeth is a hero because she is a teacher: a really good teacher. I think she should consider herself a hero. Elizabeth Olp is very nice and she is educated and has taught lots of kids. She is definitely a hero. “Teachers teach from the heart, not from the book,” and that is exactly what Elizabeth Olp does.
