Luke 6:40
The student is not above the teacher, but
everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
There is no doubt about the effect a good teacher has on his
students. As I look back over my own
experiences with teachers, I can see how much influence some of them had on me,
either in how I understand a fact or in how I respond to an issue. Miss Olive Tuck, my 7th grade
English teacher, is the main reason I pursue correct grammar. Miss Shirley Wood, my librarian mentor, is
the one who instilled in me the desire to use my profession as a tool to serve
the Lord. Mrs. Doris Burkett, my Gideon
Auxiliary mentor inspired me with confidence to be a leader of discipleship of
other women through my Auxiliary ministry opportunities. And my parents are the ones who showed me how
to be willing to do, to TRY, anything as a
way to honor God, even if I wasn’t the best at a particular activity. All of these teachers or mentors influenced
me and I see a bit of each of them in me now, which reminds me that as I allow
Christ to teach me, I will emulate more and more of Him as well, and THAT
should be my main goal.
