This week I was really thinking about how teachers affect our lives. Though we can sit and talk about how much we hate being in class, and how we'd rather be off doing better things with our friends or family.
Two years ago, my band director, Mr.Hawks passed away. I never really thought about how much I cherished having them there and helping me. When he died, it hit me hard as I didn't see it coming and I couldn't go back to tell him how valuable in my life.
Now when I have teachers that I really have a connection with, I make sure to let them know that they mean something to us. Maybe if we all told Mr.Hawks how much of an inspiration he was to us, he would still be alive today. It's something that I think about all the time.
I don't know if this is something "I learned this week" but it's something I definitely became aware of.
