Looking back on my life, I have many teachers to thank. I would not be where I am today without all the teachers, mentors, friends and family who have inspired me and taught me along the way.
As educators, sometimes we do not see the results right away with our students. We need to keep in mind that we make an impact with every life we touch. They might not realize it now, but your students will remember you and all you have done for them.
I want to take this chance to thank my teachers and mentors. You helped me grow, helped me work out my problems, listened to me when I needed it the most, and inspired me to help others.
Now that I have children, I truly appreciate the importance of the influence of educators. My two little boys have grown much this year and it is all thanks to the people who read to them, who creates crafts for them to make, who listen to their stories (even though there is NO way they could make sense of what my boys are saying), who teach them how to be team players, and those who teach them how to be considerate of one another. It takes a village to raise children and everyone has something to contribute. So, I would like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to all the family members, friends, teachers, and coaches who had an impact on my children's lives.
Thank you teachers.
