Mr. Omar Perez

A teacher who impacted me this year is my Spanish 1 teacher Mr. Omar Perez. Mr. Perez manages to turn a subject that some people take just because it is a graduation requirement into a fun and unforgettable class. Additionally, my class, Block 4 B-Day, is very crazy, but Mr. Perez knows how to keep the class moving along while understanding how important it is to let everyone’s personalities shine through. 

Mr. Perez has helped make my year great in the way he is able to joke around with his classes. He is one of those teachers that when people laugh at his jokes it’s not forced; everything is completely genuine because he knows how to make a joke. He is sarcastic and knows how to poke fun at students without it being uncomfortable. He keeps his classes occupied and on track, which for some is a very hard thing to do. He is irreplaceable and many people don’t realize how lucky Lakeland is to have a dedicated teacher like him.
