Teachers' Day

I took this from Kungfu Hamster. Shamelessly copied and pasted it cos' I loved it so much and would wanna share it.

Children Learn What They Live
If children live with hostility,they learn to fight.
If children live with ridicule,they learn to be shy.
If children live with tolerance,they learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement,they learn confidence.
If children live with praise,they learn to appreciate.
If children live with fairness,they learn justice.
If children live with security,they learn faith.
If children live with approval,they learn to like themselves.
If children live with acceptance, and friendship,they learn to find love in the world.
- Dorothy Law Nolte

One Hundred Years from now
One Hundred Years from now
it will not matter what kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
how much money was in my bank account
nor what my clothes looked like.
But the world may be a better place
because I was important
in the life of a child.

Teacher's Prayer
Lord, Please help me,
To strengthen their voices, bodies and minds,
To express their feelings and control them sometimes,
To explore what's near and venture afar,
But most important
to love who they are.
