The answer, as recorded
Transcript. What follows is a transcript of the video above, in Antoin Curtis’s own words. It has not been rewritten, and no part of it was drafted for them.
A teacher who inspired me the most and shaped me into the person I am today is the Brian Wingard. He helped me a lot during my high school years, not just as a teacher, but as a mentor. He helped me after school with any problems I had with my homework, anything that I need to do academically, he was always there. He shaped me into an academic leader, not just into sports and music, but overall as a talented, real being. Thank you, the Brian Wingard.
