Im one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:Its in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in1990. She instilled (逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You cant have ripples without a “stone”. Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and thats what I strive to do.I genuinely love teenagers.I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If theyll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do, too.Teaching isnt for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice. 36.
