Teachers who made an impact!

These teachers were

a blessing

academically, professionally

and

personally.

All of them

became a part of who I was

as a student.

But, more important,

I took a little bit of each of them

into my classroom

as a teacher.

I could never repay them,

I just hope,

in the

deepest parts of my heart

that I affected a

"one day teacher"

the same way they affected me.

So,

I add them

to my Blessings Sampler

with books for knowledge

and a lit candle

because they

"lit my way"

in more ways than they will ever know.

Dear Lord,

I have been truly blessed in my life to be around educators who were positive influences both inside of the classroom and out. But these four people will forever hold an honored place in my heart. Not only for the knowledge they imparted on me academically, but the discipline tactics that they used. They showed me how to discipline in a way that no others could. They showed me how to make students want to do their best and achieve to their own highest level.

So, Dear Lord, thank you for allowing me to experience Beda Williams in 1st grade, Sue Stanley in 3rd Grade, Jim Hipsher in 5th and 6th grade and John Marocco in 9th grade Biology.

Amen
