Mom's the word

For 24 years of my life, either my mother or my aunt and uncle washed my dishes and did my laundry. They did not really complain but just accepted it. Why?

Now that I find myself, in a minuscule way, in that position, I am quizzled.
Though I am thankful, I ask Why did you do it? Love; Practicality; Duty; Submission?

Yo Teach!

Do you even know how many teachers I've had in my life.... I lost count a long time ago. But wow, does it ever take a lot to make just one person....

If teachers are the ones that influence your development the most then the more teachers that you have the more 'developed' you would be.

Then there are the unpaid, unconventional teachers that show up in your life and enrich it that much more. Zowie.... just to think about it is overwhelming..

After having such a reflection, there is a lot of gratitude I feel towards every single person that I ever called teacher. Thank you.

Finally, one day, you and I will be part of this cycle as well.... and somebody will call you TEACHER.
