The sky's the limit, I could become a doctor be a professor somewhere, be a counselor a teacher somewhere at a high school.

He meant so much to us and I don't like to use the word teacher or professor because he was so much more than that. He was a wonderful man. He gave you his time; he gave you his attention. He made you feel like you were his only student.

My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.

My sister is an ER doctor, and my brother is a teacher.

Anyone can be a teacher or professor, but not everyone can influence you to strive for excellence and make a difference in the world around you.

Teachers never knew which lives they have influenced, or when, or why. They are educators who shaped individuals of the past, and also very much about the present. Some were brilliant bordering on genius. How blessed we are to have the presence of teacher in our lives. Today, I look back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers with gratitude to those who touched my human feelings. If you can read this, thank a teacher.
