The Importance of Teachers

There are three teachers that I can think of off the top of my head that have made a significant and profound impact on my life. They made a conscious effort to get to know me, figure out my plans for the future, and help guide me on a path to fulfill all the hopes and dreams that I aspire for. Without the guidance that these teachers provided me, I would have never uncovered the passions that I have discovered within myself for history, graphic design, and the environment. Having in-depth conversations with these instructors--and even just listening to their lectures--helped ignite a powerful enthusiasm, of whose existence I was not even aware, and progressed a drive that helped me to attain my goals within the class, as well as conspire about viable career options concerning my future in said subjects. These few teachers, along with all of the others that I have had throughout the years, have shown me the undeniable vitality of educators. I think that it is essential to any successful learning environment that there is a mutual respect and set of common interests between a teacher and his/her students, and it seems to be that Mr. Blow shares this view with me. It is extremely beneficial for students to have someone there that has blazed the trail for them, that can assist in any way possible to help ensure a bright future for their pupils. I am who I am today because of the teachers that I have encountered in my life, and in my opinion if an educator is even able to make a difference in merely one student's life, as mine have done for me and Mr. Blow's has done for him, then there is proof that the education system in or country is doing its job in providing the tools for the advancement of future generations of our society.
