　　I am a Teacher.
　　I was born the first moment that a question leaped from the mouth of a child.
　　I have been many people in many places.
　　I am Socrates exciting the youth of Athens to discover new ideas through the use of questions.
　　I am Anne Sullivan tapping out the secrets of the universe into the outstretched hand of Helen Keller.
　　I am Aesop and Hans Christian Andersen revealing truth through countless stories.
　　I am Marva Collins fighting for every child's right to an education.
　　I am Mary MeCleod Bethune building a great college for my people, using orange crates for desks.
　　And I am Bel Kaufman struggling to go Up The Down Staircase.
　　The names of those who have practiced my profession ring like a hall of fame for humanity... Booker T. Washington.　Buddha, Confucius, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Leo Buscaglia, Moses and Jesus.
　　I am also those whose names and faces have long been forgotten but whose lessons and character will always be remembered in the accomplishments of their students.
　　I have wept for joy at the weddings of former students, laughed with glee at the birth of their children and stood with head bowed in grief and confusion by graves dug too soon for bodies far too young.
　　Throughout the course of a day I have been called upon to be an actor, friend, nurse and doctor, coach, finder of lost articles, money lender, taxi driver, psychologist, substitute parent, salesman, politician and keeper of the faith.
　　Despite the maps, charts, formulas, verbs, stories and books, I have really had nothing to teach, for my students really have only themselves to learn, and I know it takes the whole world to tell you who you are.
　　I am a paradox. I speak loudest when I listen the most. My greatest gifts are in what I am willing to appreciatively receive from my students.
　　Material wealth is not one of my goals, but I am a full-time treasure seeker in my quest for new opportunities for my students to use their talents and in my constant search for those talents that sometimes lie buried in self-defeat.
　　I am the most fortunate of all who labor.
　　A doctor is allowed to usher life into the world in one magic moment. I am allowed to see that life is reborn each day with new questions, ideas and friendships.
　　An architect knows that if he builds with care, his structure may stand for centuries. A teacher knows that if he builds with love and truth, what he builds will last forever.
　　I am a warrior, daily doing battle against peer pressure, negativity, fear, conformity, prejudice, ignorance and apathy. But I have great allies: Intelligence, Curiosity, Parental Support, Individuality, Creativity, Faith, Love and Laughter all rush to my banner with indomitable support.
　　And who do I have to thank for this wonderful life I am so fortunate to experience, but you the public, the parents. For you have done me the great honor to entrust to me your greatest contribution to eternity, your children.
　　And so I have a past that is rich in memories. I have a present that is challenging, adventurous and fun because I am allowed to spend my days with the future
　　 I am a Teacher...
　　我是老師。
　　我出生于世界上第一個有疑問的孩子提問的那一刻。
　　我曾是許許多多地方的許許多多的人。
　　我是蘇格拉底，鼓勵雅典的年輕人通常提問尋求真理。
　　我是安妮·沙利文，讓一個名叫海倫·凱勒的盲聾啞女孩子感觸到宇宙的神奇，成為一名杰出的作家。
　　我是伊索，是安徒生，用一個奇妙的故事啟迪心靈。
　　我是瑪瓦·科林斯，為每一位孩子享有受教育的權利而作不懈的努力。
　　我是黑人瑪麗·麥克利奧德·貝林思，為受到種族歧視的黑人們創立出一所著名的高校。
　　我是貝爾·考夫曼，拖著病殘的身子讓孩子們在知識的天地里健康成長。
　　我還有很多的名字——布克·華盛頓、釋迦牟尼、孔子、拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛默生、利奧·巴斯卡格利亞、摩西、耶穌……這些名字以博愛之心和人文精神譽滿天下。
　　也有些名字，或許早已經被人們忘卻，但它們會融入學生們在各行各業取得的成就之中，并以這種方式得以永存。
　　我愉快地參加昔日學生的婚禮，開心地看到他們的孩子出生，也在一些英年早逝的學生的葬禮上肝腸寸斷。
　　一天當中，學生們需要我成為演員、朋友、護土、醫院、教練、失物尋找者、借款人、出租車司機、心理學家、政治家、臨時父母……
　　 我給學生們講語文、數學、美術、音樂，但是我知道，這些遠遠不夠，我需要激發學生主動學習的求知欲，讓他們積極地向全社會學習。
　　物質財富不是我生活的目標，但是追求財富卻是我的職業。我要創造盡可能多的機會發揮學生的才智，使可能會埋沒在灰心喪氣中的才智閃現出光輝，學生的這些才智便是我的財富，更是社會的財富。
　　我是勞動者當中最幸運的人。醫生是將生命帶進世界的引導員，而我每天都可以看到生命的變化，看到一個個日臻成熟和美好的生命；建筑師可以匠心獨運，將一幢大廈聳立幾個世紀而仍然巍峨壯觀，而我用愛和真理所創造的卻可以一代又一代地永久地傳播下去。
　　我還是一個戰士，每天要與恐懼、偏見、無知、冷漠作斗爭。所幸的是，愛、智慧、個性、信任、歡樂、好奇心、創造力，這些都是我的盟友，它們是我堅強的后盾。
　　我的過去充滿了豐富而美好的回憶；我的現在既有挑戰又有歡樂；我的未來寄托在學生身上，將無比輝煌。
　　我是老師……
