Quotes

"The persistent teacher not only points out that learning has no finish line for students, but lives according to that principle as well."

This quote really hit me, just because you learn all through school doesn't mean you quit learning when you graduate. I feel that everyone can continue to learn all there lives, there is always something to learn. This is something that students should see in the classroom, let them see that you are still learning right along with them. Just because you are the teacher doesn't mean you have learned it "ALL." Teach them that they could succeed in life, accomplish great things because there is no finish line in learning.

"To know you, I must find many ways to listen to you and to learn about you."

I really liked this quote, it made me think how important it is to really get to know your students. To me that is taking the time to really show them that you care. I feel like if a teacher will listen, she not only listens with her ears but with her heart. Students know how a teacher will feel about them, by the way she makes them feel. Showing them that you are interested in what they have to say and do will leave a great impact on a student. If a teacher will sincerely listen with real intent she could get to know the student on a deeper level and could touch their lives forever.

"Failure is not an option."

I agree with this quote, to me it says," keep on trying" no matter how many times you feel liked you've failed, never give up no matter what any one says. As a teacher you should never give up on a student, no matter how much he/she is struggling, continue to find ways that will reach the student so they can say, "I can do this!" Help them to believe in themselves and to not give up. If a student believes that a teacher believes in them, this could boost a students confidence and help them to reach for the stars.
