"Teachers touch the future"💝 #HappyNationalTeachersDay! 🍎📚🖋💼☕️ I've had many wonderful teachers and professors throughout my education, and I've always been so thankful for them. And my Mom was not only an excellent teacher both in the classroom, but also when she raised my brother and me. She always says that children do not learn unless they feel that they are loved and that they are appreciated for who they are - for their unique talents and gifts. My mom encouraged my brother and me in our unique talents and gifts and cherished us; she loved teaching us to love learning and books, to love school and value education, and to be life-long learners through a variety of experiences. I'm forever grateful to my 1st teacher, my Mom, and thank you to all my teachers and professors over the years! 🍎📚🖋💼🍵 📸(My writing & my photo of Mom's pillow & books: "The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury," Selected by, Janet Schulman; and "Children's Books and Their Creators," Editor Anita Silvey) #TeachersDay #books #American #history #writer #America #amwriting #photography #children #art #goodreads #writersofinstagram #journals #quotes #nonfiction #biography #memoirs #ChildrensBooks #Teachers #WomensHistory #bookstagram #ThankyouTeachers #HappyTeachersDay 🍎📚🖋 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_1G9wiBVde/?igshid=qtqxcjnvejln
