To The Teachers That Left An Impact On My Life
Dottie Parham

I’m sure most of us can think of a teacher that changed our lives in someway. Whether it’s elementary, middle, or high school teacher. I’m sure you can think of AT LEAST one teacher. But I can think of more than one. Every teacher that I’ve had has made an impact on my life in someway. Even if I didn’t learn anything academically, I learned something about myself, my teacher, or life in general.


We are all humans and even if someone that has different qualities that us can make a big impact on our lives.

If we all sit and reflect on the past, there is one particular teacher that comes to our minds. All of my teachers have been nothing short of amazing, but 5 of them stand out the most.


Even if I didn’t have 2 of them as teachers in the classroom, they taught me so much about myself and life. To me, these teachers have been my biggest supporters, my favorite people, and my best advocates. To clear things up, I didn’t stay by their sides throughout the day or eat lunch with them. I had my own friends that I hung out with, but I was not and still not ashamed to say that they became my role models.

I had a great relationship with all of my teachers, but only a handful accepted me when I decided to open to them. These 5 special ladies let me open up and tell them everything.

One is my sister, I went to her before any of the other ones because, I mean, it’s my sister. She knows me better than anybody. If I had a problem academically, with a boy, with a friend, just in life, I went to one, if not all of these teachers asking for advice. If I was having a bad day, I would go to on elf their classrooms to get some peace and quiet.

I’m sure there are people who have specific teachers that they think so highly of and respect just as much. I’ve respected every one of my teachers, and I will forever. I’ve had over 20 different teachers, and I’ve never had any trouble with any of them.

5 out of 20 teachers seen the struggles I went through as I start to grow up and mature. I’m sure all 20+of those teachers would have been there for me, but I only let a handful in. I can never thank those teachers enough.

So remember to thank EVERY ONE of your teachers because they’ll all leave a mark on your life.

And thank the ones that help you through your struggles a little more.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
