...and the student has surpassed the teacher!

I have been teaching here for 14 years. During these years I have tried hard to instill in my students the desire to be the best they can be. Today I am beginning to see many of my students become great and wonderful things.

These are two of my past students who have come into my life once again. One is going to be the new Head master here at Meridian and the other is a Sophomore at Dartmoth medical school.

It made me think...my students are surpassing me. How do I feel? Absolutely wonderful!

Being a teacher is very much like being a parent, especially when you open up your heart to your students. Your love for them increases each year and your desire truly is to see them succeed and become everything they can. To reach their potential, or at least to begin to and to live their dreams.

I am lucky enough to be a part of this. So, how do I feel working for someone who once sat in my room learning from me. How do I feel learning from them? Great! If I can only claim to be a small influence in their lives, then all this sacrifice is worth every minute.

Thanks to all my students who keep in touch. I am proud of each and every one of you. Live your dreams and find joy in your lives, that is the greatest thing you could ever do for me.
