What Makes a Good Teacher


In my opinion teachers are a huge role in a person's life. I believe a teacher can either help make or break a child. In the 3rd grade I was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes. My teacher at the time would have my class make get well cards and would visit me in the hospital. She encouraged me to get back on my feet and to not let the disease take over my life. She would help remind me when it was time to test my blood sugar and would inform my mom when I would have a rough day due to a high or a low blood sugar. She met with my mom and my doctor to help make sure that she was doing all that she could do as a role model for myself. She helped me grow self-esteem and to know that all children aren’t the same and it was okay to be different. She encouraged me to embrace my differences and to not let myself be embarrassed. I not only remember this teacher as teacher that I would like to be, but also as an inspiration on what kind of woman and a motivator for young children I would like to become.
