My Inspiration.

A lot of people when asked why they want to teach or why they decided to teach they give a story about a teacher that inspired them. Well my inspiration comes all from my mother. My mom and dad were high school sweethearts and when they graduated high school my dad went off to the navy and my mother stayed behind and waited on his return. While at home she worked and visited him as often as she could. Then when my dad arrived home they got married, and became one. Once my parents had been married for three years I was conceived and three years later my younger sister was born and from then on our family was complete. Now to discuss the reason why my mother is my inspiration. My mom did not go to college right after high school but she did go back after she had her children. My mom was working full time, going to college full time, being a wife full time, and being a mother full time all at the same time. When I was young and watching her do all of this I never realized the magnitude as to what all she had on her plate and why she was doing it. But now as a adult and while in high school I realized she is my super hero, because she tore her body down handling all her responsibilities and we still never wanted for anything during the process. When I tell people this many question what about my dad why isn't he my hero, but I have to remind him that he is my king he showed me exactly what a man should be like and how they should provide for the family and I always was told that is what he was suppose to do so I never looked at it as him extended himself more than he should. My dad just did what a father should do. My mom on the other hand did not have to work full time and go to school full time while taking care of us without day care and things of that nature. She is currently a special education teacher in my home school district. When I enter into her classroom the love and connection that she has with her students is truly inspiring. It takes special people to work with children with special needs and my mom is one of those special people. She has showed me how to take your life into your own hands and accomplish your dream no matter the obstacles that maybe in your way. She helped me see that I could be anything in the world even if that meant following in her footsteps. I am my mothers child!
