Teachers really are humans.🍎Really!
When I found out, it was a shock! They are people like us. I had no clue.
I am writing to tell all of you teachers, that you do really change lives.
At webster elementary school I first found out these “Teacher People” had lives outside of school.
They actually had first names, homes, spouses, and God forbid, even children.
In the 5th grade…
I got an amazing teacher who was so sweet. As the year went on, her tummy started to grow. She was pregnant.
Before that, I don’t remember knowing or seeing someone pregnant. For sure I had no idea how women got pregnant.
She finally had to stay home because her due date was coming. So we thew her a baby shower.
We bought gifts and cake. She was so happy that she sobbed!
A teacher crying? I was perplexed and confused. These things that we call teachers are very odd. Teachers don’t cry!
Next is the 7th grade.
I wish to call her my “Trista teacher” because our great friend on Medium, Trista, reminds me so much of her. 🍎 So sweet and creative.
