"When I was in 6th grade, I had a phenomenal teacher. Mrs. Jackson was patient with me, even when I did not get the material. She would encourage me and speak truthfully to me when other adults like her would not. I want to bring a part of Mrs. Jackson into my teaching."

My mother is a teacher. I loved watching her growing up. She was a great teacher in my eyes and that was really inspirational.

Continue to use your mother as inspiration. There will be days when things do not go as smoothly as when you saw your mother rock it. That is alright. We all have those days. It is important to push through in a positive matter.
