Hell yeah, Ms. Showalter was the shit. It didn’t matter that you were 9, there were fitness standards to meet, and she’d be damned if any of us bastards were going to bring her numbers down. That was my first experience with an educator who pushed you when you didn’t believe you could do it and hyped you up when you finally did. She was so gruff, but we all loved her and swarm her at school events, even when she’d pretend she didn’t like all the love 😂.
