    Teachers

    Tuesday Blogwalk
    Topic provided by: Coboro
     
    Write about that teacher who made the difference that still resonates in your life today.
     
     
    I have thought about this alot since picking the topic up over the weekend. Sadly, I have to say that I cannot think of one teacher who made a difference in my life at all. I remember many teachers fondly, such as the Grimsteads, who were my band teachers in Jr. and Sr. High school. But I also remember other things.....such as how my grade six class ended up with a teacher who was having a nervous breakdown. Throughout the year she kept getting worse and we all thought she was crazy. There was one month when we ended up listening to Harry Belafonte and The Banana Boat song everyday. She would put the record on and we all had to be quiet and listen to it over, and over, and over again while she walked around the room. Then there was the math teacher who confronted me in the hallway in Jr. High. He was yelling at me and was about an inch away from my face, so I started yelling back at him and he ended up slamming my locker door on my finger.
     
    I don't know. Maybe if I had a teacher who effected me like that, I would have taken more of an interest in school and my life would be completely different today.....but by high school I just didn't care about it anymore. I went to school to meet up with friends and I would hang with whichever one had a free period. That's what I was doing when I met John. If I had been in school instead.......yeah my life could have been alot different.

    Yeah, funnily enough, I couldn't think of anyone who made a big impact on me either. I could think of negative ones sure enough. My best teachers weren't found in school.

    I had a few good teachers through my years of school. Unfortunetly i have encountered many more through my daughters schooling that just outright sucked. I have however, seemed to have found a great lot in my son's school. Hopefully this will be the trend from now on. More teachers that actually care about the kids. They have been few and far between in the past!

    LOL.. as for the why of the wolfs and the kitchen.. ??? donno.. smiling.. hungry? wanted some tea? milk? the only way in ? or maybe it was because of all the acitivity  and family gatherings that takes place in the kitchen? wish my grandma were here.. but then she would probalby just laugh.. say something under her breath..and leave the reasons of why up to us..

    I felt the same way.. I did not have any 'good' memories of any of my teachers... one of my teachers in third grade.. got so mad that she ripped of every button but one off  my new dress.. all because she
    could not find the homework that I had put on her desk.. weeks later she did find the homework.. but she never once said she was sorry.. another teacher threw a book which hit me in the small of my back.. becasue I was standing at the blackboard..and turned around to ask what the questions was for I could not hear what the teacher had said.. no.. my expericences at school were not the best.. so I figured it would be best not to do this weeks topic..
    Its rather odd though.. as I read your comment in my space.. I also had dreams when I was small about a wolf.. around the same age .. 5 or so. as I would walk into the kitchen a wolf would jump through the window by the sink.. I would wake up.. just shaking.. my grandmother told me that it was because so many things in my life were huring me at the time.. that the wolf was only trying to remove that which was so hurtful to me.. that is was trying to bring me healing..
    when I got older.. the dreams did not come so often.. now.. they only come when I am upset.. or totaly out of balance.. guess the wolf comes just to let me know now.. that its time to regain that inner strength..
    if that dream you had when you were small still bothers you.. ask the Lord.. what is was about.. He will show you..
    God Bless.. love and hugs.. ~Hope
    p.s. thank you for your prayers.. I have felt them.. hugs
