All of us have had that one special teacher in our lives that have really helped us to reach and achieve our goals. However, many of us may forget them or don't think about them later in life. Today as I sit here writing articles and such, I began to think about the one person that really inspired me to become a writer. That person was my literature teacher. She really made the subjects we were studying come to life. It was truly amazing how it woke me up to the reality that I could be a writer that I could achieve my dream. My hat is off to all of the wonderful teachers out there that help to instill the skills we all need to get through life. For each of you helping our children struggle and helping out children to learn is an amazing task. Thank you! Do you have a teacher or someone that inspired you to reach for your dream or goal? If so who???

i had quite a few teachers i was very glad i had. they loved teaching and made their subjects interesting and were very helpful. on the other hand, there were those teachers who had pets, calling on their favorite students. i had a teacher who use to sleep in class. we had open book tests. i didn't learn too much about geography. i'm sorry today for that. there are those teachers who constantly talk all period without a breath. it is boring. don't you agree.

I remember teachers that had their "pets" it always bothered me. One time it actually bothered me so much, I actually said something. The teacher sent me to the principals office. When I told him why I was sent to him. He smiled and praised me for standing up to the teacher.

My parents are both teachers. I grew up in campus. Most of the guests to my house are teachers. When I am asked to list the most inspiring ones, strangely, I cannot. Maybe that's because I am so familiar with this word--T-E-A-C-H-E-R.

I have a teacher before in my elementary years who never stopped believing in me. She was my adviser when I was in second grade up to fourth grade. She took all the time in the world to assists me in all of my subject matter.. When I reached my fifth grade I was already receiving honors whenever I would go up the stage and receive my certificate I could always see her teary-eyed and so proud of me.. Until I graduated from elementary she was always there to shake my hand and have a big smile on her face while saying congratulations Ian! Because of her dedication and love of teaching.. I'm able to achieve my dreams and her belief in me, that I could succeed fueled my passion to strive harder in life.. Now, its my turn to help my students succeed in life..

I think that the teachers you get can make or break your education. in primary school maths has my favourite subject, but several lacklustre teachers later and I now loathe it with a passion!
