Who I Am
- Mr. Lakey
- I am ex-professional basketball player that played in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Chile, and Gemany. I went to U.S.C for two years before I transferred to Loyola Marymount University. I graduated from L.M.U with a Bachelors degree in Business emphasizing Computer Information Systems. Lastly, I am a published author of poetry who has acted on television and in commercials.
I was first afraid of Mr Lakey because he is so tall, but as I got to know him, he's really a cool teacher. Thanks to Mr. Lakey, instead of being an F student, I turned into a B student.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Lakey

I too was afraid of Mr. Lakey, not because of his height... he was my first male teacher. When I was in 7th grade, Mr. Lakey was the only teacher that kept me motivated to learn the subject. He wanted us to focus on our goals and get us prepared for life. Now that I am at high school, I always say to myself "teachers are nothing compared to Mr. Lakey." He's an excellent teacher that will help you no matter what the problem may be. Also he is the BEST teacher I ever had and I will never forget him.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr. Lakey for all your support.
Sincerely,

I was excited when i knew Mr.Lakey was going to be my 7th grade teacher. His height was quite intimidating but after i got over that it was really fun. we did have alot of fun in class but when it was time to buckle down and work. Mr.Lakey was sure we did just that and it something we were learning wasnt fully understood He would try different methods to help us understand. In all actuality Mr. Lakey is and will always be my Favorite teacher.
ReplyDeleteI thank you Mr. Lakey .

When I first met Mr. Lakey , I thought he was the hardest and meanest teacher. But come to find out he was one of the best teachers ever. I loved the way he taught. And now because of him, I am doing way better in math then I thought I was, I used t fail all the time, as soon as I got to high school, I have been making A's and B's in math all thanks to Mr. Lakey, (:
ReplyDeleteMr. Lakey is one of the top five teachers in the world. If you have him as a teacher or have had him as a teacher you are a very lucky person. I don't need to write a paragraph to tell you that.
ReplyDeleteWhen i first saw Mr. Lakey,which was in summer bridge i thought you would be a cool teacher but at the same time a "expect alot" teacher. Now that the school year has started and we are into intersession, you are a very well in articulating the assignments that you assign to us. Though sometimes it may be a little hard to understand you wind up understanding it in the long run. I know this is more than 4 to 4 sentences probably but who cares. Just wanted to let you know that!
ReplyDeleteMr. Lakey was the best teacher andyone can ever have. He use to joke around but also knew when to be serious. He wasn't like any other teacher, he actually cared about you and helped you whenever you needed it

For me, Mr. Lakey is one of the few teachers I felt could really TEACH. With the whole tucking in the shirt thing and serious attitude, you knew you were gonna learn in his class. Which i did, now at the end of the year, i feel comofortable with math & i know i can do it, even if it requires a retake :] Gotta say thanks Mr. Lakey
ReplyDeleteWhen entering the seventh grade at St. Albert the Great, i was excited but yet nervous because my teacher was a tall man. When entering the class the first day it was amazing. Mr. Lakey greeted us with respect and open arms. My seventh grade year with Mr. Lakey was interesting because i learned a lot of things. I had received the love of reading books in his class because we would read about each week. I also learned from the project we had to present to the class, Mr. Lakey and other teachers. we had to research an African-American activist and then present it to the audience. Once presentation day came up, we had to dress appropriately as if we were going to an interview. It was a presentation, so addressing the audience with a shirt and tie will impress them. It also helped me in the long run because it gave me a sort of sense that, when i go on a job interview i will know what to wear. Mr. Lakey is a very entertaining teacher and is always there to help when needed. It may be times where he may be strict on you but it will pay off in the long run. Reflecting on my pass 14 years of school, I would had to say that my seventh grade year at St. Albert was a great experience. Now that i am a senior, I wish i could go back to seventh grade and be young again and have the greatest teacher ever, who is funny, caring and always there, Mr. Greg Lakey.
ReplyDeleteMr. Lakey was my teacher in seventh grade and my math teacher in the eighth. I am now a freshman in college. Gosh, I feel so old! Haha. Anyways, Mr. Lakey was a wonderful teacher. He really took the time to get to know us as individuals. He made jokes all the time but he knew when to be serious. He took the time to help us with anything we needed. I would have to say Mr. Lakey took great interest in math as well as in his students. I have never enjoyed math, but he made math class interesting because he kept us engaged. Mr. Lakey was definitely one of my favorite teachers EVER :)
ReplyDeleteWords can't even describe how brilliant Mr. Lakey is. Having him for a 7th grade teacher was the best thing that ever happened to me. He taught us the real fundamentals of school and prepared us for high school and college activities. From math finals to formal presentations, Mr. Lakey knew what he had in store for us. Not only are his teaching skills amazing, but his humor is what caught the students attention. Never did we sleep during a class lesson, we were always alert and ready for the next joke he would make. To this day, I apply my math skills during my senior year in high school. He prepared me for my future in the academic world. Mr. Lakey was THAT teacher. And I thank him.
ReplyDeleteWhen I found out Mr. Lakey was going to be my 7th grade teacher, I was pretty excited. I'd heard many great things about him. I'd heard he was really funny, but also had many expectations from his students. His teaching skills are truly amazing, because he knows how to keep you completely focused. I thank him for everything he has taught me. For example, I walked out of his class knowing what the algebra term "vinculum" was, and walked into my eight grade class listening to the other students call it "the line on top." (I'm a Junior in high school and i still remember, while the other students still don't know.) To this day, I consider him one of my TOP favorite teachers, and you'd be very lucky to have him!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first met Mr. Lakey was at Environmental Charter High School. I had him for algebra 1 and I disliked him so much not because he was mean or a bad teacher, it was because he actually pushed me as a student to do better. Me being a freshmen at that time i was immature and I did not understand that he wanted the best for me and all his students. Mr. Lakey has high expectations from every student that stepped into his classroom. He expects you to be ready to learn, motivated and too meet all his requirements. I am now a senior at Charter High School and I still go back to Mr. Lakey for help because he is able to break everything down step by step, and has a different teaching style than most teachers. He doesn't read of a book and teaches exactly what's on there. He takes those lessons and makes them creative and interactive so it's easier for all students to understand. That is what makes Mr. Lakey the best math teacher that i've had thy far.
