Tonight was the teacher appreciation dinner that my church hosts annually. I was able to recognize a teacher that had been a great support to a shy little sixth grader about six years ago.
Teachers are amazing. They put up with students' crap every day for eight hours, and then they go home and grade sometimes horrible work, yet many don't quit and they often seem to become role models and friends to the students that have come to respect them. The teacher I recognized tonight was one of those, and I truly hope my sisters are placed in her class as well. Everyone needs a good teacher.
Teachers are not always associated with school. Some of my most influential teachers have been relatives. Sometimes I gain insight from my friends, or even my siblings. Learning from others is one of the great joys of this life we live.
Look for the teachers around you! Chances are, you're someone's teacher too. Make the lesson you teach a good one, k?
