She is always bursting with energy

[alpacinou]

Hello,

Have I used "burst with" correctly in these sentences? Are they natural?

1. My best teacher was my math teacher in high school. She was always bursting with energy and passion for math.
2. The jungle was bursting with wildlife and echoed with birdsong.

It is not surprising that a math teacher would have a passion for math. Perhaps better:

She was always bursting with energy, and her passion for math was infectious.

This isn't related to your main question but I just want to check exactly what you meant by "My best teacher was my math teacher in high school". As written, it means she was the best teacher you had throughout your entire school education (not just at high school). If she was, in fact, simply the best teacher you had at high school, you need to change the word order to "My best teacher at high school was my math teacher".

I meant to say my best teacher in life! Is it confusing?

No. That is what it means. I just wanted to check you meant what you said!
