If we just open our eyes a little, we'd recognize how people come into our lives for a very special reason - often to help us get to the next level or teach us a lesson. Congratulations on the reunion with your teacher! That must have been incredible event. What grade did you have this person for a teacher and what did he/she do that was so impactful? Victoria:

I try to stay in touch and update them on my progress.... yesterday, I visited an old teacher of mine, what a happy reunion it was, even though we have not seen each other for just 1,5 years, since I last left the country. ...I can only imagine how thrilled is your teacher with your success, Stephen!... …I am so blessed with the people who express their confidence in me!… I try to stay in touch and update them on my progress…. yesterday, I visited an old teacher of mine, what a happy reunion it was, even though we have not seen each other for just 1,5 years, since I last left the country. …I can only imagine how thrilled is your teacher with your success, Stephen!…

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading this story. I'm thrilled to hear that you made a difference with your students and how, because of you, they were excited about the next lesson. I have such fond memories of the teacher - what a powerful woman! She planted that seed of greatness in my mind when I needed it most. I love how she slammed her foot on the floor and pointed her finger at me when I gave her the answer. It feels as if it happened yesterday. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. BTW, I also saw "Mr. Holland Opus" and loved it. Also, if you know of national teacher organizations that need inspirational speakers, please send them a link to my demo tape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMPcAfxNzvU Thanks! LisaN:

I taught fifth grade for several years, and loved it. IMHO, the age of the students is perfect. They are just old enough to be involved in "serious" discussions, but they're too young to be disillusioned with school. I loved every minute of it...............:) Today, I still do private tutoring, and I know when they leave my class, they're excited about the next lesson. Teaching is such an honorable profession.

I'm glad you decided to stop by and leave a comment. Thanks! The song you referenced does seem to fit in with the theme of this article, doesn't it? I wonder if I decided to use it, if I would have to get special permission for it? Thanks for letting me know about your blog, I'll certainly check it out. "Father of Illegitimate Adversity" sounds intriguing! Thanks again for taking the time to leave a value-added message. I love interacting with my readers and visitors. Jonathan:

Good stuff. There's a song entitled, "I Believe in You" off of a Touched by an Angel Soundtrack that would go perfectly with this presentation if you ever give it again. It's probably 7 or 8 years old but would work well. I blog a little about adversity at www.discoverj.blogspot.com. check out "Father of Illegitimate Adversity" if you go. Thanks! Thanks Stephen.
