This I Believe
I believe that teaching is one of the most important professions and also one of the most rewarding because teachers can have such a great impact on the lives of their students. Teachers are often remembered by their students far beyond the end of the school year. They pass on not only information, but tools essential for constructing the rest of a student’s life. They are so instrumental in the process of growing up in that they help students discover more about themselves by bringing out the best in them. Learning is an exciting, but often challenging process, and I believe teachers help to instill in students the desire and motivation required to be accepting of and successful in digesting what they are taught. I believe the roles of teacher and student can even be reversed in that both can learn from one another. Teachers have the opportunity to make all the difference in a child’s life and sometimes do not even realize what an impression they may have made on a student.

I completley agree with your belief statement. Teachers can make a huge impact on their students lives. Elementary teachers have the privaledge and also the challenge of instilling learning in their students for the very first time. What children learn from their elementary years is carried with them throughout the rest of thier lives.
I also agree with your statement. I find that everyone remembers who they had as a teacher whether it was when they were really young or not too long ago. A teacher whether a student likes them at the time really is going to stay in your mind as being there such as a role model. Every teacher has a certain characteristic to help you remember them and most can be from when a child is first learning.
I agree with what your saying here, all of the points that you have mentioned are valid qualities that a teacher should have. Like you said i can remember many of my teachers that i have had in the past not just in high school but in middle and grade school.
