I believe...
I believe that passion is a major aspect of teaching. A good teacher has a love for the subject matter they are talking about and their enthusiasm pours out to the students. The excitement a teacher portrays can often lead students to strive to learn the subject matter. I have found in my experience that teachers who had such a passion inspired me in many ways. I also believe that teachers teach more than mere factual information but also life lessons. As a teacher, I believe you are required to be a good listener and support other students opinions. You are also required to help all students to succeed. This means that teachers sometimes have to change the way they approach teaching certain material so that ALL students can learn.

Brittany: I definitely agree that the enthusiasm and excitement a teacher brings to the classroom largely impacts the way the students will learn. If the teacher is excited and passionate about the subject matter, the students are more likely to be receptive of the information and will be more excited to learn it. The manner in which a teacher presents to the class can have a big impact on how the students will react to the teaching.
Britt, you were right on with your statement. A teacher can be such a powerful force in a student's life if only her or she is willing to put in that little extra time and really make sure that the student is getting what is being said. If a teacher is getting his or her point across, it is quite possible to change a students life and that is something every teacher should strive for even if that means putting in extra time and effort.
