Okay so this isn’t about me being and inspiration, but about someone who has been an inspiration to me.

Tonight in my Intro to Early Childhood Education class we had to write down a person who has been a big inspiration in our lives. Not just that, but a person who has encouraged us to go into the field of ECE. Instantly I thought of my kindergarten teacher Mrs. Luxton. Well any ways, we were to right down things that helped us in learning and things that we noticed the person doing that kept us on the “right” track. After we shared who our person was and the different things that we listed about them, our teacher told us that we are to take it home and rewrite it. Not for a homework assignment, but to make it into a letter. After writing the letter we are to send them to that person. This is great! I get to tell the woman who made me love kids how much she has done in my life, from one year of working with me.

So to Mrs. Luxton, fifteen years ago you became the teacher who I never realized would have made such an impact on my life as it is now. Thank you. You will always be remembered as an inspiration.

And I can only hope that one day someone will think back to a time that they spent with me, and find me to be an inspiration.
