Rarely ever do I speak about something like this.
I've received news of the passing of my a high school biology teacher, Mr. Peter Onlock. The passing was sudden (not due to Co-VID 19).
I cannot begin to express my gratitude for this man, as he ignited my passion in cell and molecular biology when I was only 17 years old. I remember it so clearly how I came to realize how much I love this type of study. Mr. Onlock turned something to boring to life with his chalk-and-talk and his personality. Every class I would make notes and learn the material with so much ease. He taught me material that was redundant even into my 3rd year of specialist undergraduate studies. Every thing that I learned from him I am using every day in my practice: to understand how the body heals and how it responds to the environment. And I absolutely love it.
So what now? I love it even more. I will carry on this passion in memory of him. I will learn so much more and love biology so much more.
Thank you, Mr. Onlock. The skies have gained a solid champion.
