The Teacher of the Year

[@JacobFlores2]

I had her in 7th grade 12 years ago, and I graduated college last year. I've begun a teaching credential program and I'm aspiring to be a teacher. Every single thing President Obama said about her is exactly how I've always felt about her. She has been my main inspiration to not only push myself in school, but to strive to be my best in life. I was finally able to tell her that yesterday because it's been so long since I stepped foot in my middle school, and she is just as gracious and kind as she was 12 years ago. Congrats Ms. Mieliwocki, and thank you for being my biggest inspiration.

[@scherylcazarez7826]

thats Awesome that she inspired you! In sure you will make her proud!

[@Drmbydanrabbit]

Hi just curious what's the around her neck never seen a teacher where one before ?

[@mohammedabdulmosinsi]

shez just amazing human.... not just promoting shows, advertising ppl, celebrity visit at her shows, numerous sponsorship to poor ppl... u r doing great job Ellen !!

[@pvdreves]

This is awesome! America needs more teachers like her! I'm studying to be an English teacher right now too! This teacher inspires me to prepare to be the best that I can possibly be.

[@jessiealvarenga6049]

She's my English teacher at luther and she's awesome I couldn't ask for a better teacher right now she in China and our substitute rn is miss cooper

[@nekomon2546]

This proves that it actually depends on who teaches rather than "passion for the subject". The teacher has to make it fun to learn, boring lessons won't make children learn with pleasure. They'll just feel forced and they will eventually hate it.

[@twin21997]

This woman is amazing! I want to be a teacher myself (I'm 17). I want to help little kindergartens and grade ones be the best they can be and I want to feed them and provide whatever they need. I also want to be a person to lean on because I struggle so much with bullying and threats and physical harm done by all of my old friends and some family (all males). I am in a low-income area with a single mom and i try to give as much as I can. I am just so scared for university prices (Ontario, Canada is 6 years for a teacher and costs $50000-80000), I just hope I can make a difference to my community because I feel like this is what I was born to do. :)

[@Mononoooo]

She is my English teacher this year ;)

[@lanaaceee]

aww this is so touching. its good to see something positive about teachers being said.. instead of always getting criticized!

[@Hunnymuffin321]

It's Great to know there are teachers like her out there, determined to do their job and do it well. I'm in highschool right now and I wish I could say that I have many great teachers, but in all honesty, many just come for their paycheck.

[@mimi10115]

Burbank Unified has a lot of great teachers. I went to LBMS for 8th grade and Burbank high 9-12 and those teachers care. They push you to get those A's and to study and understand the material being taught. I'm proud that Ms. M won the award. I personally didn't have her as a teacher but from what classmates have said, she's great! I went to LAUSD and not to put them down but, they never showed the same passion that the BUSD teachers did. Congrats Mrs. Mieliwocki!

[@AnimaSola3o4]

Right!! Now there's a teacher that deserves the award ten fold!!

[@katneko1990]

I'm striving to be a teacher of this calibre, teaching is such an important profession. I can't wait to be finished my studies and be able to inspire children and give them a love for learning.

[@Veteran450SEK]

Wow what an amazing achievement. To be recognized for your lifes work in such a fashion must feel great, beyond words... Qudo's to Ellen for showcasing this amazing woman.

[@moolia29]

She seems like such a lovely person!! I wish she was my teacher!!!

[@BucketsMcFrosty]

Teachers like her are the reason that I am in school for education.

[@a27garbo]

She is very likable and I congratulate her for her award. Being a teacher is difficult, long hours, small paycheck, lots of obstacles each day. I have the biggest respect for all my teachers because if a teacher is dedicated, it's one of the hardest, most demanding jobs

[@JadeJela]

Why am I crying when listening to the kids praise her

[@riv3rss]

imagine such a teacher in your school!! LOOOL!!! she has incredible sense of humor!!

[@balletaholic]

She sounds like a wonderful lady! Much love!

[@BFRISCO49]

My teacher deserves a teacher of the year award for being the best special Ed teacher

[@NellieKAdaba]

Congrats to Rebecca, we need more good teachers in this world

[@thoqbaboy02]

" be kind to one another " thats the special line for Ellen :D

[@davidsmommy413]

We need more teachers like this!

[@madb1205]

She seems like such a fun teacher!

[@AnnaOliviaB]

Ugh I wish my teacher got this. He's the best. He only won as wide as our county.

[@inam95]

[@96tolli]

[@KaylaLikes]

She teaches my son's same grade. Two words: Well deserved!

[@lopezrhe]

Love how Ellen has great sponsors that help schools!

[@MissezStacy]

This was nice. I was teacher of the year last year. I love teaching and have been doing it for 6 year, but my district is facing funding deficits next year and my reward is a layoff, SMH. Congrats to this wonderful teacher...

[@bonnafofanna26]

[@teddybearcloud]

[@abisoluwaakinyemi2923]

[@haleyd726]

I wish there was more teachers like that in the world! I alwas say were kids and we like having fun and u have to make learning fun! And a teacher figured out a way to do that! Your only a kid once!

[@mylifeontheElist]

hahahaha loved when she was like "and alabama..." it's like it's own little country...

[@MissMaggiemouse13]

Her gift is awesome!

[@DarkLord75253]

Though I've blogged about them in the past I would once again say thank you to my past teachers: Mr. Shipp, Mrs. Mars, Sgt. Fedd, Coach King, and all the amazing adults who helped shape me into one myself.

[@Dogche]

i like when Ellen says "be kind to one another"

[@FarinaWaddup]

OMG! Yay! Yes! Come To Singapore!!

[@lowloww100]

[@imanreda4442]

SINGAPORE. WE KEEP POPPING UP ON ELLEN.

[@granolup]

An amazing teacher with amazing students!

[@luvstruckfairy]

I wish that i had a AWESOME teacher

[@Aquila0]

I have so much respect for teachers (the ones that actually have a passion for what they do) and I think they are so underpaid.

[@Bonmud38]

o god now i can never finish the vid! that was a piece of art man!@@

[@ChinnyK]

ELLEN PLEASE DO!!!!!! We Beg you!

[@lilly14yo]

this is me studying for my exams... LOVE YOU ELLEN

[@cedevee]

honoring people that ACTUALLY matter.

[@frompilios]

When she taught me I was in the GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) class. she played favorites specifically to a group of four people in the class. that group was doing work above and beyond what was required and she would set their work as the standard of the class which teachers are not supposed to do, they are required to have their own standards. if your work was not up to par she would berate you passively and call your parents needlessly.

[@sch001b0y]

The luggage makes it look like Ellen is the teacher of the year.

[@stacilin]

YES!!! That teacher RULES!!

[@RainKiddo]

OMG i soooo want to meet her when she comes here...i wonder where she is going.....

[@corinadiaz5973]

I want to meet Ellen 😭❤

[@yykkk222]

Hi I'm from JAPAN!!! :D YES ELLEN, YOU MUST COME TO JAPAN AND VISIT!!!!!!!

[@broadwaybv]

She isn't the only one going through those problems.

[@NellieKAdaba]

My mother has been to Japan several times for her work

[@chickadee2311]

why does that bring joy to me.?! :)

[@littleB941]

I missed this show and I really want to watch it is their a way I can watch the show? Please reply

[@jennytaylorr]

Wow, I want her as my teacher!

[@annajustin98]

When i watch her, i don't just realize that my teacher is bad. she is the crappiest! I WANT REBECCA MIELWOCKI!

[@MrTylerGaga]

All teachers need to be like this ;3 .

[@TehJoker001]

We need more teachers that GIVE a shit about student's success. We are the future, yet a lot of the teachers only care about the paycheck.

[@hannahgwace]

I want to experience what it would be like to have her be my teacher!

[@PillCozbee]

Atta girl, get that women vote back. And the teacher vote, of course. They should call it the hope & change teacher of the year.

[@nathiigonzalez]

Ellen looks so good in colors :D

[@RemenbeMyName]

This was added on my birthday :)

[@MaryAnnSweetAngel]

I totally agree with you! Miss Honey's amazing :P

[@superkenrocks]

Lmaoo i love how ellen said "ba bye"! Haha sounded soo cute! XD

[@AudhamEnThaTokyo]

I hope she'll like Japan :) Teachers here sure need to learn a few things from her!

[@WhitleyRhea]

as a twin myself, my sister and I actually do mirror a lot of each others movements unconsciously. It is not unheard of.

[@jinalebcooll]

well im a french high school teacher in canada and the teens love me cuz im being fun, i listen to them and im not being an ass.. i love those kids they are really intelligent! so u can not generalize on ur experience of high school..

[@JasonB95]

Now people in the airport are gonna think Ellen is teacher of the year lol!!!!!!!

[@TekkHilla]

it's called "synchronisation"....it's when you are confident in someone when he do a move, you do the same are the contrary (you move and he do the same).....Try with your family this and watch it works ^^"

[@HookieThePlatypus]

I love her voice : )

[@MetaIicDzn]

Has her iPhone out in class. Yep teacher of the year for sure.

[@crazymissRia]

just about to study when an Ellen vid decides to pop up

[@clarissasimpson]

As a teacher who just graduated from teachers colleges id really like to pick her brain on classroom management technqiues she uses

[@LoveLikeProductions]

oh my history teacher got entered into this omg i wish he won

[@misbhavd]

"She makes sure you stay seated" I would fucking hate that.

[@bonesgrey]

How does she comes off as arogant. She´s excited and self-confident. There´s nothing bad about that...

[@JordiDion]

Omg she seems so nice !

[@Allikatsosweet85]

LOL!!!!! The teacher called the president hot!!!!!!

[@JoshuaFenton]

6:35 Wow, that the cards Ellen is holding actually have that much text on it. I never thought that..

[@amab2k]

[@vicmajorful]

Awesomeness! Can we bring her to my daughters school? :)

[@hanabana37]

[@UsmileBELIEBER]

[@UpAndLeave]

[@MissAlexa8]
