In all of our lives, we
all have had that one teacher who we will always remember as one of our
favorite teachers. And when asked about why we like those teachers most of us
would say that were nice or funny or even pretty, but behind all of that was a
teacher who took the time to genuinely care about every single one of their
students. For me it was Mrs. Hilliard my third grade teacher, she stole my
heart and my passion for teaching people. I knew from then on that when I
"grew up" I wanted to be a teacher just like her, the kind of teacher
that she was, specifically. A loving, caring, and genuine teacher.
Teachers influence
children in so many ways, not just with what they teach them. Teachers are the
wonderful people that besides our parents we spend most of our time with,
making them very influential in a student’s life. Not only do they educate
students based on school but they also help with providing students with career
aspirations and what they want to do when they get older, some may even want to
become teachers themselves. Along with this teachers help with parental
guidance, considering students are with teachers more than most they help with
being more guidance. They also provide students with more self-esteem along
with an interest in academics and education. This article discusses how
teachers can help a student in other ways than just teaching.
I agree, we take for granted what teachers really do for the world. They don't just simply teach, they're role models students look up to and they inspire people to learn. My favorite teacher was my high school physics teacher. He didn't just give us lectures and powerpoints like a typical teacher would do. He actually spent the time to get to know each and every one of his students. He made the class so engaging and fun that it didn't feel like we were in a classroom, it felt more like we were in a club. Doing physic projects and labs were actually fun and by pairing up almost every week, I got to know my classmates better too.
