    I am inspired by all these posts. Being a teacher myself, I recognize how confidence is key. Feeling good about oneself is the impetus to success.

    The best teachers I've ever had have been constant advocates of having confidence in yourself and your positive, innovative ideas; good things will follow.

    My favorite teacher was Mr. K. He had us work towards earning a glitter filled baton. He taught me to work hard, but I came in runner up to my cousin. Lol.

    I went to private school and must have learned discipline, because then I joined the military and loved it!

    She taught me that not everyone has the same opinion on things, and how to try to put myself in their shoes.

    My 2nd-grade teacher gave me a real thirst for knowledge, a fountain from which I never tire of drinking.

    Confidence and belief in oneself is critical to impress upon a growing child. I would say curiosity but I'm pretty sure that one comes naturally!
