It’s remarkable to consider this but our future scientists, lawyers, doctors, Supreme Court Justices, and even Presidents are sitting in classrooms at this time preparing to inherit the leadership of this country. As much as we can hope and pray that these future leaders are paying attention, we can rest assured they are in the hands of generation makers also known as teachers. Teachers remain the most overlooked heroes of our society. Most can think back to times when they were in elementary or high school and remember when a teacher inspired them to dream. Teachers comprise the first line of defense in making sure our nation survives long after we’re gone.
For many who know a teacher outside of a classroom, you know how much they give to this job. Teachers come home daily telling about successes their students to their families, but they also come home in tears asking if they are making a difference. To many teachers, they consider their students their children. The love they have for each child can sustain a lifelong friendship.
My wife has been an educator and has shown me the power of a teacher and how they can transform a life. These individuals who chose to educate see the peer pressure, the bullying, the anxiety, and stresses of being in school. Therefore, they resolve each day to reach our children in academics, arts, and sciences. To teach is to give it all for the rising generation. My hope is we can sustain these benevolent individuals to teach, empower, and encourage our children to dream!
