30 Days of Thanks #9

Today I’m thankful for great teachers!!

Throughout my 20 years as a student I have had some really amazing teachers. I know that my life would be completely different if it wasn’t for them going the extra mile to help me. Now that I’m teaching I try really hard to live up to the great example these teachers have shown me. I can only hope that one day I can help a child in the same way.

While I was thinking about the great teachers who have inspired me I couldn’t help but also think of the teachers that I have had who set a great example of what NEVER to do. (How was that for putting it nicely?) I really should be thankful for them too. Without their example I wouldn’t understand the true impact a teacher has on their students. I would like to think that I would never be so ridiculous as to do most of the things these teachers have put me through, but I know that without their example I may have been naïve and made some of the same mistakes.
I know I will never be the perfect teacher but everything I do good for my students I either owe to a great teacher or a horrible teacher I have had!
