I dedicate this post to both my fourth grade teacher Mrs. Lively and my AP English teacher Mr. McGowan. I didn’t appreciate their efforts to build my vocabulary until my junior year in college. After many years, they are still my inspiration to never stop learning. In the spirit of learning, I challenge you to learn the words and to use them in your conversations.
