Teachers

Love them, hate them, but they'll leave a mark on your life forever. It's one of the two occupations I admire incredibly. I mean think about it- people sacrificing a comfortable lifestyle to teach kids who won't appreciate them, and they don't receive the salary they deserve. You must be someone who genuinely cares if you do all of that as a day-to-day job. And not only are they teaching you, they're basically helping your parents raise you into an accomplished person. How can they not do that? You see teachers 5 out of 7 days of the week, and you develop some form of a relationship with them. They're teaching you book smarts, and the street smarts they have gained from their own personal experience. Teachers have definitely had a huge impact on my life. Several have been people that I've gone to when I've needed help, and they gave it to me in whatever way they could. I wish I could sit down with every teacher I've ever had and just hear why they decided to become a teacher. It's a lot of sacrifice, and they made it.

Every teacher you have had has sacrificed for your well being. What did you give back?
