I am a cracked pot!

I am not really talented at anything. I am not musical. I am not artistic. I was an okay student but not exceptional. I am certainly not athletic! I can write but others write so much better

But Rose, you do have a wonderful talent! Perhaps it's not any of the things you mentioned but you have people skills! And not only that, but also the good will that makes you use that skill to bring happiness to others.

Maybe that's not something that gets noticed at school - you don't get points for being supportive and kind! But I think that's wrong. Many wonderful people grow up thinking they're not particularly good at anything, and all the time they're helping their friends, solving conflicts, making sure no one feels left out etc.
As a teacher, I intend to find a way to praise and reward those students as well as the ones with outstanding academic skills.

What a sweet, nice thing to say, White Quill. Thank you for making my day. It means a lot that you see me that way.

I think you will make a wonderful teacher. I wish more students could have a teacher like you.

Your kindness and good will shines out in all your comments and entries. It would be impossible to fail to notice it! That's why it really means a lot to me that you believe I will be a good teacher. Thank you. :)

Thank you, White Quill. What a nice thing to say. It meant a lot. And I honestly have no doubt that you will make a great teacher. You interest in the students goes beyond the academic and in my opinion, that separates the great teachers from the good ones.
