When You Inspire Others….

they inspire you…

Inspiration, to increase your desire to continue on the path, is sometimes difficult to come by, even though it is desparately needed.

One of the things that inspired me to become a teacher, is the “oh, I get it” comment that I receive from a student. It inspires me everyday, to continue my teaching career. Each one of is a teacher, maybe not with a credential, but definitely a teacher. Parents, grandparents, neighbors, and even sometimes strangers, can all teach us something. Learning happens often.

But there is a certain magic when you teach. You share a part of you. And someone internalizes your lesson for the rest of their lives. You become immortal in their memory. I still remember my kindergarten teacher, even though she has long passed. I’m sure your remember your kindergarten teacher too. It is true that when you teach, you touch the future.

I am not trying to convince you to become a teacher, but I would like to inspire you to teach others about what you know. It’ll surprise you what you learn.
