The Heart of a Teacher excerpt

An excerpt by Paula Fox
The child arrives like a mystery box...
with puzzle pieces inside some of the pieces are broken or missing...
and others just seem to hide
But the HEART of a teacher can sort them out...
and help the child to see the potential for greatness he has within...
a picture of what he can be. Her goal isn't just to teach knowledge...
by filling the box with more parts it's putting the pieces together...
and creating a work of art. The process is painfully slow at times...
some need more help than others each child is a work in progress...
with assorted shapes and colors. First she creates a classroom...
where the child can feel safe in school where he never feels threatened or afraid to try...
and kindness is always the rule. She knows that a child can achieve much more when he feels secure inside when he's valued and loved...
and believes in himself
...and he has a sense of pride. She models and teaches good character...
and respect for one another how to focus on strengths...not weaknesses and how to encourage each other. She gives the child the freedom he needs...
to make choices on his own so he learns to become more responsible...
and is able to stand alone. He's taught to be strong and think for himself...
as his soul and spirit heal and the puzzle that's taking shape inside...
has a much more positive feel. The child discovers the joy that comes...
from learning something new...
and his vision grows as he begins to see all the things that he can do. A picture is formed as more pieces fit...
an image of the child within with greater strength and confidence...
and a belief that he can win! All because a hero was there...
in the HEART of a teacher who cared enabling the child to become much more...
than he ever imagined...or dared. A teacher with a HEART for her children...
knows what teaching is all about she may not have all the answers...
but on this...she has no doubt. When asked which subjects she loved to teach, she answered this way and smiled...
"It's not the subjects that matter...
It's all about teaching the CHILD."

INSPIRATION & MOTIVATION- LESSONS ON LIFE
THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD
I dreamed I had an interview with God.
So you would like to interview me?” God asked.
If you have the time” I said
God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
What questions do you have in mind for me?”
What surprises you most about humankind?”
God answered...
That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.
That they lose their health to make money...and then lose their money to restore their health.”
That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.
"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.”
God’s hand took mineand we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...
As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”
To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”
To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”
To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”
To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”
To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most,but is one who needs the least.”
To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”
To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”
To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said, Just know that I am here... always.”
