I am that person You see five days a week for at least twelve years of Your life.

The reason why You will succeed, so don’t be afraid to ask me why.

I am your mentor, always here to help.

Your cheerleader, by the finish line.

I am the light when You are in the darkness, and if not,

I’ll turn on the lights.

I am the building blocks of Your success as well as lawyers, doctors, and scientists.

But… YOU

You are the person I do it for

the reason I work so hard.

You are all my children who I want to see go far.

But…

It is up to You, I can only do so much.

I will work and over exhaust myself until You're satisfied.

my passion exceeds the tallest mountains, 23,622 ft tall,

and when you make it remember me, the one who helped you achieve it all.

I am.

Your teacher.
