The Teacher

The teacher is one of the most outstanding people that I have met thus far. His eyes are comforting. His words are kind. He spends the majority of his free time providing kids with opportunities and outlets to develop his or her skills. In turn, kids can take these skills and develop a career with them. My teacher is providing kids with careers. He is providing them a future, a future that many of them had never previously considered. I know this first hand. I was one of these kids, lucky enough to be touched by this man's life. He took skills that I already had, and applied them to diferent situations, then helped me fine tune the adjustment. He has stood behind me, as both a teacher and as a friend, and supported me through thick and thin. I owe my passion for life to this man. He is a giver. He is selfless. Without him, I would never found my passion. I would not understand what it is like know my calling.
