Mr.Cook was my robotics teacher throughout middle school I am now in 9th grade and one of my favorite memories is from last year during robotics class and I was talking to him about how someone bumped into my arm the night before and since I had recently got a biopsy it kinda hurt but the thing is I didn´t say biopsy I said otopsy and he then informed me that I had a biopsy not an otopsy because an otopsy is something where you cut open a dead person to see why they died. I miss him so much he was an amazing teacher, coach, and person.
