My Favorite Teachers

My favorite teachers inspired me. They believed in me. They dreamed with me. They didn’t let my present limitations limit what was possible in my future. They challenged me. They made things difficult and asked that I excel. They taught me failure is okay. It’s a part of the process. They gave me freedom to be myself and to grow. They made me laugh. They made me smile. They wore a smile even when they didn’t feel like it. They gave their best. They came to work prepared every day. They stayed consistent. They sacrificed and most of all they cared about me.

To every teacher that taught me these things, thank you. With every passing year, I appreciate you more and more.
