Truly amazing teachers are a rare breed. They spend long hours grading papers, preparing lessons, and digging deep into the things that will help our children succeed. These dedicated men and women pour much of themselves into the lives of children everyday. But, once a student passes through their classroom, they may never hear from them again. Teachers often give years of service and see very little of the impact that they have on the lives of their students.
We all have a special teacher that made a difference at a critical point in our lives. Someone in a classroom inspired you, encouraged you, pushed you to be a better person. Maybe you are a teacher today because someone inspired a passion for learning early in your life. Maybe you are a journalist because an English teacher took an interest and encouraged your writing. Maybe you are a doctor today because a science teacher opened your eyes to what is possible.
In recognition for all that teachers give to children and the communities they serve, United Way of Broward County would like to invite you to share your story of a special teacher.
