Teacher: a person whose occupation is teaching others, esp children.
When
I think of the word teacher, a few things run through my mind. My
Father. Just about every Elementry school teacher I had. The few I
actually liked in Jr. High and High School. My basketball coaches from
the age 7 when I picked up my first ball, all the way to my senior year
of high school. Just about every Sunday school teacher I have ever had.
And of course my parents, pawpaw, stepdad,2nd family, mentors, and
friends. Why all of them? Well…..they all have invested time in me,
given me advice about life, or just taught be something that I can
apply to my daily walk today.
BUT NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DID I THINK I WOULD BE CALLED TEACHER!
Mainly
because I have never thought people could learn from me. But, for what
ever reason the children and some of the Women here call us “TEACHER”
and I would be lieing if I told you it was annoying…because everytime
I hear it, it just about breaks my heart. I love hearing it, and most
days thats what makes my day. Being able to teach kids around the age
of 4, then being able to spend time with them in the afternoon in there
community makes my day. Loving on them make me more at peace then I
have ever been.
