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.

[@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.

[@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

[@lanaaceee]

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

[@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. :)

[@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.

[@moolia29]

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

[@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.

[@AnimaSola3o4]

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

[@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!

[@Mononoooo]

She is my English teacher this year ;)

[@balletaholic]

She sounds like a wonderful lady! Much love!

[@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.

[@JadeJela]

Why am I crying when listening to the kids praise her

[@BucketsMcFrosty]

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

[@riv3rss]

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

[@NellieKAdaba]

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

[@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

[@jennenhes]

For some reason I just love her voice! It's so sweet.

[@Jaybee574]

She's very confident. I love it!

[@davidsmommy413]

We need more teachers like this!

[@madb1205]

[@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...

[@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"

[@snowbirdling]

she's so funny! great guest.

[@JoshuaFenton]

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

[@epicperson7]

i wish we had teachers like her in my school :(

[@annajustin98]

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

[@kirakirakira.99]

Oh my gosh she's coming to Huntsville, I REALLY want to meet Her! :D

[@broadwaybv]

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

[@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.

[@MissAlexa8]

Is it just me or does she reming you of Jess from New Girl when she says *awesoome* at 1:10 and 1:17 ?

[@verystablegenius8316]

Ha, I see why she is teacher of the year, congrats!!

[@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.

[@mylifeontheElist]

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

[@hemmopenguin3481]

She kinda looks like Ellen but with long hait

[@mamshuman3579]

[@LoveLikeProductions]

[@clarissasimpson]

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

[@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..

[@teddybearcloud]

SINGAPORE?! Dude she just mentioned Singapore! We need such inspirational teachers.

[@WhitleyRhea]

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

[@TheBdavis2195]

How cool is that. Wow

[@TiaxxN]

this teacher is so cool.. i wish my teacher would be fun as her and my class is soo dam boring!

[@superkenrocks]

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

[@wintersonatina]

This is probably a silly question.. but what is that around her neck? Is that a microphone to help amplify her voice?? I have never seen a teacher use one before.

[@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 ^^"

[@hannahgwace]

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

[@ChinnyK]

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