Mr. Jorgensen likes teaching because every day is different. He also likes to interact with people and build relationships with the students he teaches.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Jorgensen decided to pursue teaching because he had several influential teachers when he was a student. His most inspirational teacher was Mrs. Williams, his high school English teacher, because she was authentic and shared his passion for language arts. Mrs. Williams inspired him to become an English teacher, and he has been teaching for four years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WCCO news awarded Blake Jorgensen with the Excellent Educator award for helping students break out of their shells to become confident, well-spoken public speakers.
