" A teacher's greatest reward is not in his paycheck or in the success he may see in his squad, but instead the kind of individuals he turns loose on society."
This man has had the greatest influence on me in my entire four years of education during high school. He has opened my eyes to a light in the world that I have never seen before, shown me that there was something in myself that was worth showing the rest of the world and has taught me to above all else... Love. Even if it is hard to do because people make it difficult, for that is the nature of the beast, we still need to try. Keep pressing on and on; until one day you realize that you have come so far that you have surpassed the goals that you set for yourself. There is no mountain too high that we can't cross, or at least blow up with some sort of WMD. * winks* These are the memories that I will take along with me through my peralious journey through life.
I know that things were said, I know not if they were out of anger, or contempt, but they were said and echo still. " An influence not wanted..." " Negative influence on ..." and more and more and more. Things that were told to me over and over again, family, teachers and friends alike. But I know that you cared and hopefully still do, and that is why I haven't slipped any further then I have. But know that I am only human and I do make mistakes just like the rest of the world does. Please don't hold me to those mistakes because if you do then you are limiting the things that I can do. So for those of you out there... live on and love on. Because with out those things in life then we have nothing.
