What it really means to be influential…

I want to dedicate this post to my former math teacher. She is the absolute true definition of influential for she has affected me in a way no one ever had. She was able to comment on my dream directly and was able to clear my mind to the true intention of my dream.

I dedicate this post to her for just being a caring, understanding, and lovable teacher. Because of that, there is not one student that I know that does not love her and wish they could have her year after year. Every year she is able to not only teach students math, but to be a part of their lives and have an impact on generations of kids every day. Sadly she might retire at the end of this year but I hope for the best for her future endeavors.

You might be thinking that any teacher could do that and you might be true. She wasn’t famous or anything but definitely an important factor in my life. I recently met with her after a year apart and she was still able to teach me a rather important lesson. In continuation of my last post, she taught me that despite wherever I end up in life, I was still able to leave my mark on many. I play a strong important role in my family and have affected so many others including her. I always sought after the biggest of dreams such as getting in Time magazine that I was almost forgetting about the little things. I realize that I would be comfortably happy with influencing just the people around me as well. We all play an intricate role in each other’s lives and if people are able to take a little something from reading this blog, then I feel complete. I’ll still strive for my big goal but to appreciate all that I have done so far and the amount of people I have influenced is a major realization. Because of that realization, she was able to have an influence on my dream that no one ever has. Because of that, she will have a special place in my heart forever.
