Shout out to my HS Science teacher from 10 years ago

[AlexB23]

Hello folks. Roughly 10 years ago, during 9th grade, my science teacher Joe Macki let me go outside with him with a parabolic mirror and burn a hole through some paper during the optics lesson in 2014 or 2015, as I wanted to see if it was possible for a small parabolic mirror to do that. I remember this like yesterday. Mr. Macki was wearing a blue denim shirt, went outside with me carrying the parabolic mirror and placed a sheet of paper in front of the mirror near the grassy parking lot. We both knelt down and watched as the sun burned a hole into the paper in a matter of seconds.

What a cool guy, Mr. Macki is. Most science teachers would not take 5 minutes of their class time to perform an experiment outside of the curriculum.

Great story.

You get a good teacher and you never forget them.

Thank you. He was a good guy. Kinda wonder what he is doing now, 10 years later. But yes, if one gets a good teacher, one will never forget him or her.
