Teachers as a Sources of Inspiration in our Lives
It is of no doubt that teachers are one of the greatest sources of inspiration in our lives. Besides giving us the necessary knowledge that is needed in the career that you would like to pursue in the future, teachers offer life inspiration especially in the way in which they carry out their tasks or the way in which they talk to us. At a young age especially, one of the things that a learner is interested in is getting inspired each day and they need someone who will encourage them to work harder and recognize their efforts in whatever that they do. The paper contains the various ways through which teachers can inspire us in our lives. The examples below are drawn from the various sources that contain information on teachers who have inspired their students from different parts of the world.

Like McBride and Martens, teachers should be dedicated in their teaching work to inspire learners to work hard in their lives. Hard work, which is essential in our lives, should be embraced by learners.
Forming a relationship with the learners or a connection is also significant because it acts as a source of inspiration o the students and the students will see that the teacher cares for them. The learners come from families that have different backgrounds and in some instances, some of them may have lost their loved ones or they may need someone who will make them to feel cared. A teacher is one of the people who best fits this category since they are close to the students. We can see this from the instance of Mr. Marten, who was a music teacher in the text, “From Cacophony to Harmony”. In the article, M...
