A good teacher is like a candle, it consumes itself to light the way for others." This quote by an unknown author embodies every aspect of what my teachers at Mid-Prairie High School do for each of their students. Teaching has always been a big part of my life. My mother is a first grade teacher and my father was an elementary art teacher before his accident. I have always known that teaching could be a career where you can influence the lives of others, but it was not until I got to the Mid-Prairie High School that I discovered how teachers could impact your everyday lives, your entire year, and your future.
