ok well I am not very good with computers, but I don't know who else to turn to. I could really use your help. I am a high school science teacher and I have always loved the quote, "Never forget the people that make you who you are." That line, plus my love for the Latin language, brought me to the decision that I need that quote on a poster in my room. Only problem, I don't know enough latin to successfully translate it. If someone could give me a translation, or even something with the same meaning (ie. replace never forget with remember). If anyone could help, I would ever so grateful.

just to get some responses started, i'll propose:

"Nunquam te talem creatorum obliviscaris"

but wait for some better suggestions.

Latin is sort of averse to highly abstract statements like "what makes you you?", but with a little bit of liberty I translate your phrase:

memor esto qui te fecerint

What about this one?

Numquam eorum oblitus sis, qui te (talem) qualis es fecerunt.

Or, using modal attraction:

Nolite eorum oblivisci, qui te (talem) qualis sis fecerint.
