At the age of three, I kept doodling a teacher in front of a class. I was so sure I’d become a teacher. Even halfway through college, I thought I was going to become a teacher. Being out of college, currently working a full-time job, I still have that drive in me though it’s not my direct path. I am able to clearly see why I was interested in the occupation to begin with. To educate. To be creative always. To always be a student and continue learning. To inspire–to positively impact the future of the world & inspire change. To be a great problem-solver. To be a superb role model. Teachers rarely get enough appreciation or recognition for their efforts and dedication. Thank you. Thank you GOOD teachers and educators around the world. To those who actually enjoy teaching (and do a good job in teaching–not just thinking you are always correct and having students regurgitate chapters worth of information), to you passionate folks who leave deep imprints–motivating students to be the change they want to see and having sincere interest in seeing them succeed. Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! You shouldn’t only be thanked today, but hey, don’t get discouraged, and keep it up! 

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
