Karl Hedberg Class of 1986

My deepest sympathies to Mrs. Yost's family and friends. Mrs. Yost was my English and homeroom teacher my senior year. She and I would often meet minutes before our class to buy our coffee at 7-11. Against rules, she would allow me to bring my coffee to class as she broke the rule as well. I sensed she took a liking to me as we had Philly roots. She shared great stories about her time in New Mexico. At that time it seemed like a world so far away from what I knew. She had deadly aim with her chalk on disruptive students. She pushed me. She made me think. She made me challenge myself. She called me "Twit" in a lovingly way. She expected better from me. She stood up for me when I had some trouble. She wrote a beautiful note in my yearbook. She made me laugh. I could go on and on. When I was taking a class on pedagogy at graduate school, the instructor asked us to reflect on our own educational experience and recall our favorite teacher. The instructor then asked us to recall what our favorite teachers did. By chance the instructor suddenly called on me to stand up in front of class and share my answer. I proudly stood up and shared my experiences with Mrs. Yost. It was at that moment I knew I was touched by one of the great ones. I now teach TESOL and Intercultural Communication at a university in Japan. Mrs. Yost has had a great influence not only on me as an individual but also as a teacher. All of my students get a touch of Mrs. Yost if they know it or not. Her legacy lives on. Thank you Mrs. Yost. You were the best!
