It's Teacher Appreciation Week!
I've had the great fortune of being raised in a home of professional educators. I was a student in many classrooms led by wonderful teachers , had the honor of being a teacher and worked with many teachers. A vast majority of the school teachers I've crossed paths with are wonderful people that work hard every day investing into and impacting the lives of their students. I am continually inspired by the level of care teachers provide their students. Teachers are highly trained in providing educational services to students, masters in curriculum and more importantly specialists in students. They care for and fight for kids' futures every day, oftentimes against great odds. Teachers are professionals, optimists, visionaries, team builders and they share a great deal of hope and enthusiasm daily. They are tired at the end of the day, but attend many after school functions to see "their kids" perform. Then, they grade papers and prepare for the next day. Teachers spend a lot of time after school hours researching and gaining counsel. They are trying to solve problems that oftentimes have no clear solutions. Nevertheless, teachers choose to do these things because they care about their students. Our community and ultimately society is made better every day because of the services teachers provide. Join me in focusing on the good today, think of the teachers that impacted your life in a positive way. Thank the teachers you know for what they do every day. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
