A Special Teacher

Tweet

When I was growing up through school I had many different teachers, some better than others and some that made both positive and negative impacts on me. Some taught me more than others and I even remember a few lessons that they taught me. Usually the lessons that come to mind are life lessons rather than academic lessons. For example, I had a 7th Grade English Teacher that taught us the importance of making something of ourselves and tried to make us realize that our life was just beginning and we were going to embark on lifelong journey and the choices we made would have a strong influence on how our lives would turn out...good or bad. She was trying to set us on course. I know this probably doesn't sound very profound, but something else she told us always stuck with me and as I got older I saw how very true it was..she told us to think about our first 6 years in school and how slowly those years seemed to pass. Then she told us that the next 6 years were going to go by in a blur...much, much faster than the first 6 years. How true that was and how true it is that life has sped up much, much more ever since high school graduation. She taught us many other things...she was a wise, wise woman. Probably long gone now, but she made an impact on her students. Overall, I have had some very good teachers. Have you?
