When a child is
asked who their hero is, obviously there are many different answers
that can be made. For some, it is their parents and really should a
child have their parents their hero, then that is a good sign. For
other children, it is some celebrity or larger than life sports hero.
Perhaps for some we tap into the realm of fiction for a character
that has inspired of.
However, what
about a teacher?
Shouldn't teachers
be a positive influence in the life of many children? Shouldn't
teachers be individuals that will be a positive and prominent
influence in the lives of many children?
Teachers Should Be a Standard
Children Strive to Be
To look at many of
the teachers you have during your school career and you have a
mixture of teachers that made an impression on you in a good way,
teachers that made an impression in a negative way, and many teachers
that really made positively no impression on you at all. The best
teachers, really did give you inspiration, they knew their material
and encouraged you and the rest of your class mates to be the best
that you can be.
They were a
standard which you really did admire more often than not. There are
times where teachers really just lose sight of the responsibility and
the influence that they have on those that they teach. Some do get it
but there are times where over the years, they lose sight of the
important, the absolutely wonderful influence that they have on the
lives of many out there.
If a teacher can
really inspire one child out there, then their job is not done in
vain. Perhaps that one child, who might have been on a path, that was
leading them down a wrong direction. Perhaps the tireless efforts of
a teacher rather caused something to click right in them. Made them
really appreciate the value of a good education and to try harder.
If one student can
be reached, then there is hope for the rest of them. And if one
teacher manages to realize what their purpose is, to help lead the
next generation into being educated to expand their base of
knowledge, then perhaps their can be hope for the rest of the
teachers out there.
Teachers should be
worthy of consideration for being a true hero. Given the influence
they can potentially have other the youth of today, teachers can
position themselves to make more of a difference. Sometimes a good
teacher is all it takes to make a difference in the life.
In the end,
cherish those teachers who make a difference right there. Cherish
those educators who make it their purpose to never give up. And do
listen to the teachers who actually have a passion for their job as
you may learn something.
