Mother, father, mentor, nurse, confidant. Each day, a teacher plays all of these roles.
Looking out at a sea of students, faces are trusting, faces are scared, faces are apathetic, faces are eager.
Looking out at a sea of students, a teacher sees the possibility in every child before he even sees it in himself.
Teachers show us each day what it means to turn passion into your life's work, to charge each student with the task of making a better tomorrow.
Because it's not always about having the right answers, it's also about asking the right questions.
Although the bell may ring, teachers never stop thinking of ways to motivate and inspire, never stop trying to spark curiosity.
Hope and the idea that with hard work, anything is possible.
A teacher can take the raw material of human experience and inspire greatness, shake loose dreams, and change lives.
If nothing good can be done in this world without first instilling hope and confidence in an individual, then we only have teachers to thank for our greatest achievements.
