When asked who was our favorite teacher, we may refer to someone who we feel has had a great deal of influence in our education or personal growth. The person we mention would probably have been someone who we not only remember for the subject they taught us, but their continuing support in our endeavors. We can recall these people fairly quickly because they are remembered with fondness. But if it's true that everyone we meet and interact with has influenced us in some manner, than wouldn't it be safe to say that everyone could be considered our teacher. It doesn't matter whether our experience was positive or negative or the length of time their contact was with us, we learn something from everyone. And in turn, we teach others and impact their life. Today,when you are interacting with others remember your role as a teacher. What will be your contribution to your students? You have an opportunity everyday to impact others, make it count. Be the teacher that you remember with fondness.
Sometimes our friends turn out to be the best teachers...
(D-thank you so much for teaching R the basics to paddle boarding. We had a blast. Okay, she had a blast. I enjoyed sitting on the beach. At 6:45 am, everything is calm and peaceful before we start our crazy day.)
