Today something wonderful happened. Today my grade 8 English teacher walked into our store and I said "Did you teach English 35 years ago?" " Yes , were you one of my students?" he said. (I hope that this is correct grammar, being English and all). I told him he was one of my most influencial teachers ever. I remember that class fondly. We learn Shakespear and read Lord of the flies. We got our desks in a circle and voiced our opinions. We attended play in Vancouver, Sophocles' Oedipus, then we compare this play to Macbeth. I felt mature and important, someone to be listened to, I think mostly because he show us respect for our thoughts. I was so glad I could tell him what I thought of him. People need recognition and to know they've left an impact. I have many people who have impacted me, probably the most important has been my part Sophocles' Oedipusner. He has alowed me to voice my own opinion. He has also taught question and find out why things happen. Never be afraid to ask questions or have a independent thought.. I looked for that in a partner. An intellegent m
ind, but also someone who I felt inspired by. Even though I might be not stand up everytime and say what I think, I'm not afraid. My husband can get me thinking about the other side of things, he tends to see things in a different light. He makes me ask the question and not take things at face value. I'm thankful for that and I proud of what we've become in 25 years of marriage. I look at him like a great teacher.I might not be able to tell each person how they have affected me in this possitive way, but if I get the chance, I will. Who influenced you? Which teacher inspired you to go out and do your best? What are you doing now because of that inspiration? And did you ever get a chance to tell them? Maybe one day you will find the venue to express it, if you haven't already. Here's your start.
