People come into your life for a reason. Especially those who have literally and utterly inspired you to be the best you could be. Easily my seventh grade math teacher comes to mind. Yeah, seventh grade was a long time ago, but I remember her as if I have known her my whole life. She has always had time for me if I had questions, and I had a lot, and to this day she always has time for important people in her life. I still know her, and she still to this day encourages me to be a better teacher. She is one of the most awe-inspiring people I know and played a major role in helping me acquire my first teaching job. She draws people to her because she always sees the best in them. She has always seen me for all that I could be and never ceases to encourage me. I hope to be for my students what she has been to me. I hope to be the type of person in life that I see in her.
I also admire my dear, sweet and devoted sister in law. Once you meet her, it is not hard to know why. She is the most genuine and radiant person I know. She is beautiful both inside and out and draws people to her by who she is. She is amazing and I am so glad that she is a part of our family.
I admire people who are able to let things go that are in the past. I want to be able to do this more easily. I admire and enjoy seeing kids I have taught in the past who are finding out who they are in the present. They, as well, are amazing!!!
There are others. Those who have believed in me and not just told me how to do better but have shown me how to be the most effective at what I do. My dad has always done this. He has shown us what it means to love unconditionally and how to make the most wise decisions. He has never ceased to be an example of patience and self-control in my life. I am so thankful for him because he has always had time for me. My mom has also been one who loves those around her through it all. I am so thankful for that example she has shown me.
People come into your life for a reason. They are sent into your life by the greatest inspirational person known through out time. I am so glad that I can turn to HIM. He is my refuge and strength. Without Him I can do nothing because He makes everything possible. By Faith I trust Him and look to Him for His leading and guidance. He is the one I can turn to when everything seems to fall apart. He inspires me and sends people into my life for the sheer purpose of showing me more of His immense character. Wow, yeah, I want to be more like Him!!! He must increase, I must decrease. This happens when I draw near to Him.
