Has it ever occurred to you how our teachers came to be or why they came to be? It’s almost like the terms and conditions you have to accept to reach a website where you always see it but know nothing about what it is; we see our teachers everyday, but never take the time to get to know them. Most people think teachers become what they are because they love teaching, but that’s not always the case. There have been teachers that like to give students a relatable background because they thrive on it more than a teacher telling you to sit down and do the mandatory routine for the day. In fact, there’s also teachers who do what they do because they genuinely love educating students that most teachers won’t.
Teachers have always been teaching the same daily subjects like, math, history, science, reading, and writing. But, there’s this one elective that is an important class because it sets you up for the real world. That class would be marketing taught by a teacher named Mr. Kenyon.
”Well I love teaching my students, but also if I don’t teach these kids about what I’m teaching, who will?” Mr. Kenyon said. He puts his students before himself considering all his actions have occurred because he cares about his students.
Furthermore, teachers actually get inspired by their own teachers that taught them. Ms. Braun, world history teacher, has had some experience with this.
“No one influenced me when choosing my career. I loved my high school world history teacher, Mr. Bradley. He was funny, engaging, and was the type of teacher that I wanted to be,” Ms. Braun said. This means that teachers aspire to be teachers because of who they were taught by. The teachers that were inspired by their teachers probably had the same impact on their students because they know what it’s like to have an impactful teacher.
In addition, it’s not just actual teachers that have an impact on scholars or can be a good role model, they can also be student teachers or teacher assistants. There is a teacher named Ms. Hudson who has a way to teach students and give them reason to do what students usually lack and that’s due to her empowering personality.
“My goal is to feel that I’m impacting students positively,” Ms. Hudson said. Those are the words of a teacher that genuinely wants the best for students and wants them to succeed.
In conclusion, teachers are people more than just people that you see everyday. In fact, they aren’t doing it for themselves, they’re doing it for the kids. We should appreciate that we have teachers because at least one student has had one encounter with a teacher that made them view a point differently positively.
