Oh, I’ve had a string of them. I just want to start by saying that from nursery school, I have been blessed with some of the most terrific teachers in the world! From teachers in school, to my teachers in church, amazing people all around. Till this day, my sisters and I still talk about some of our teachers and reminisce about some of our experiences. I’m not exaggerating, they were really amazing.
But for this prompt, allow me to call out my dad! The guy was good. My dad passed away last year. It was terrible. I still feel terrible. I was listening to Leona Lewis’ Yesterday this morning, a song that always reminds me of my dad and I still broke down in tears. The pain? I don’t know when and if it will go away. But that’s not why we are here so let us move on!
My dad was probably my most influential teacher because he was a teacher in several areas. At home, with my school work, in church. My dad was the best bible study teacher I knew! He is the reason I still love bible study so much till this day. He was a good teacher of the Word and it was one thing I loved about him.
My dad influenced my values. Many things about me today can be traced to the man, from the more serious things to the mundane things, like one of my best sleeping positions – on my back, one leg flat and one raised. If you can’t picture this, don’t worry, I know I’m not doing a good job explaining it. Point is, his influence can be seen in almost every area of my life.
I’m grateful that I had such a great father figure. I am really blessed to have lived life as my father’s daughter. It’s a privilege that I do not take for granted.
Okay bye.
