This topic is a very sensitive one. And it has actually got me thinking on how i want to be remembered if tomorrow start and am not there to see.
People may forget what you say or what you do, but they will never forget how you make them feel.
Being an early childhood educator and a mother of 3 has exposed me to know more about children and their needs. It has made me to understand that teaching is more than a profession. I believe every child has needs, they have the right to education and there is no limit to what a child can do if given an opportunity.
I remember a quote I saw somewhere that says "If you are planning for a year, sow rice. if you are planning for a decade, plant trees. But if you are planning for a lifetime, educate children".
When you educate children, they grow to become responsible adult that create a better society for all.
So if tomorrow start without me, I don't want people to be sad that am gone. I want every child that has cross my path, those that have already became an adult and those that are still young to remember my care for them. I want my teaching to lead them to their personal self discovery. I want them to remember the strength that my teachings install in them.
I want thousands of people to remember me as that good teacher who believe in them even when they don't believe in themselves. I want to be remembered as that teacher who is selfless.
This is exactly how I want to be remembered. Thank you for reading.
Your post reminds me of a teacher that finally recognized that I had a reading & writing problem and made some changes for me just enough to pass the minimum requirements. I still finished at the bottom of my class but with some extra effort it made enough of a difference at my college entry into Nursing. I wish I could thank her.
Thanks for the memory @d-goddess
Wow!That exactly how I want to be remembered."A teacher who put an extra effort that makes a difference." Am glad you still have her in your memory @kerrislravenhill
All responsible mothers will definitely be remembered by their sacrifices and hard work in raising their children. And it'll be a fruitful harvest once you see them creating their own lives happy and successful ☺️
