Teaching Expectations

"Be more than you are Miss Daniels, raise the bar Follow your dreams and choose your unsurpassable star Do not vaguely tell me that you do not know why Do not pretend to learn - that's "pie in the sky" Your homework is all hard work and building blocks of who you will be If you have a question for God's sake ask me Don't slip through the cracks of dragging feet and sagging minds The truth is the truth and that's what one must find You are your best representative, your voice must be heard Speak with the clarity of scholars and always use your best words These words from my teacher have stayed since my youth They are timeless examples of how to live and to remind To take courage and meaning to the truth Of just who we are and what we need to find October 29, 2019 Favorite Teacher or Professor Poetry Contest Sponsored by Chantelle Anne Cooke
