My Life Lessons

Was there a techer that taught you "life lessons"? What lessons did they teach you? How is it affecting your life now? Judith O. Cofer wrote about a techer that not only taught her in the classroom but also taught her outside of the school environment. From expanding her vocabulary to opening her mind to new and exciting thing this world has to offer. Teachers teach many different things in the classroom but sometimes there's that one teacher that you can go to and they teach everything you need to know about things in real life.
There were many techers that taught "life lessons" but there was always one that stood out. Her name was Ms. Farias, she taught religion, was the Cheerleading coach, and the schools activity director. She is a very bright woman, although no college degree still full of "life lessons" to teach. Ms. Farias has big black frizzy hair, long colorful acrylic nails, loud like a bullhorn but the personality like a sour patch. Don't take things for granted was one of her lessons that really shed light on me. A classmate passed away August twenty-third two thousand three. Our class was a really close class. She always taught us to never take things because it can be taken away at the snap of a finger. We never really took her seriously until this tragedy happened. He was shot in the middle of the day, who does that? We asked. We wanted answers and we didn't get any. Finally, the day we had her class she explained to us that sometimes things are taken away to widen our perspective on things. Understanding was very hard but finally now we really understad because another classmate just passed this October fifth two thousand five. We're finally getting the idea. No one will ever have all the right answers but they can sure try to make you understand them.
