What

What makes a teacher great?

Is a teacher great? I feel the best teachers are the knowledgeable ones.

They know the subject, and they are willing to help you in any way possible, and they make the subject clear for you before moving on.

They are kind, and they make learning fun and worth the challenge.

They push you to your creative limits because they believe in you, and they want you out of your comfort zone.

They are friendly but professional, and their personality and humor make you remember them many years later.

A great teacher’s lessons stay with you for life, and I’m so glad I had some great teachers in my lifetime.

Have I ever

Have you ever had surgery? What for?

Had surgery before? Yes, but only outpatient when I needed an implant in my mouth.

It takes quite a while as they put in a new root, and you let that heal for months.

Then they put in the screw and hope your mouth doesn’t reject it, and for three more months, you wait patiently.

Then when everything looks good, you get your mold for the tooth and wait for that to come in, and when it does.

You will be glad it will finally be over—no more waiting.

Poetry

That feeling of

Being overwhelmed but not wanting to do anything on my to-do list.

And soon, I will need to play catch up

But I only want to forget my responsibilities and be a kid again.

They are living carelessly and enjoying their summer break.

I don’t want to fear the unknown or walk off this path that’s for me.

But I feel like I can’t force myself to do more, and each time I have days off, all I want to do is play.

For this, life is on the go, and I can’t seem to find a spot to get off and rest and maybe later get back to work again.
