Mrs. Yañez

I suddenly remember Ma'am Yañez, my Religious Studies teacher in high school. I love her. I remember having to read the Bible in front of the class. That's how I got rid of my public speaking stutter. [Yes! I stuttered when I read aloud in public when I was younger.] I practiced reading aloud the Bible in private at home, enunciating words like there was no tomorrow, because I knew she'd be calling people to read at the top of the class. In a sense, I owe my public speaking skills to a religion teacher. Also: by the time I was under her, she was no longer throwing Bibles at erring students. I love her.
