My Role Model
Tags: Knowledge, Teachers, Optimistic, Learning, Role Models

Have you ever felt so connected to a teacher, that you feel that there are so many things that you can learn from them? I feel that way about one of my teachers. If I could, I would listen to everything he had in mind. He is one of those individuals who has a powerful, insightful mind, even without realizing it. He may not know it, but he is truly one of the most generous, considerate, and patient individuals I have ever had the honor of meeting. I wish to be his friend, I admire him so much. He’s certainly like a role model to me. I wish to spend time with him, get to know him a bit more, and take a look at what his mind is like. Realistically, I could become his friend. He is the type of person to be okay with me being friends with him. I can see myself calling him by his name, sitting in his cozy home, and learning so much from him. It really does sound like a magical experience. I want to have that kind of friend who’s older, and wiser than me. There could be so many things he could teach me. I need that kind of guidance; I have never had it. Is it due to my need of having a stable, trustworthy parental figure in my life? However, I dont want him to be like a parent, I want a friend. I want to have that kind of relationship where we are just so comfortable talking to each other, but we also have the opportunity to teach each other about a few things. To be fair, I would be the one who has the opportunity to learn something from him. I want him to teach me everything he knows. I want that kind of knowledge. There is just so much mystery in him, and my intuition tells me that including him more in my life would bring me so much wisdom. I saw someone having that kind of relationship with their teacher the other day. I want to freely be able to talk to them, without a worry about being judged. I want to feel secure. I crave and need the feeling of being safe, and fully comfortable with someone. His mind is so powerful, I’m convinced of it. I can tell he has gone through a lot during his life, and there is so much creativity in him. I want to know more of that creativity, you know why? I want to be a creative, intelligent individual someday. I am confident that I already am a smart, creative person, but I want to be more than that. I want to improve myself, and I do not want to settle. I am tired of being the kind of person who constantly has a fear of what others might think of me. I want to have connections with teachers, I want to learn as much as I can from them in order to become an extraordinary person. I want to be him, and want to experience the emotions that he feels. There is so much of him that I am not aware of, and maybe I won’t actually get to know all of it, ever. But, there is hope. I can try to become closer to him and gain as much knowledge as I can. There is so much information around us, that one can almost go insane trying to learn everything all at once. There is so much we dont know. We can try to learn as much as we can, but we need to try to remember that it is extremely challenging to attempt to learn everything in the world. Gaining knowledge and keeping it, and actually doing something useful with it is the real gift. If we are not actively learning, then what is the point? Knowledge surrounds us, and there is so much we dont know! So many people inhabit this earth, trying to spread their knowledge through others. Think about how many books exist in the world. Probably a lot right? Think about all of those authors, writing all of these books, in an attempt to make people think deeply about a certain topic. Their goal is to make you reflect; it could be on one or more aspects of your life. A great example of this is self-help books. All of those authors are trying their hardest to help you become a better person, and what they want more than anything is to help at least someone out there, turn their life around, and improve themselves. Because you know what? The world is in desperate need of hopeful individuals, that want to improve themselves and others. That’s exactly what I’m doing now. Being aware of so many issues surrounding us, and knowing that at least one person who is reading this is going through something in their life, I hope you get something useful out of this story. I hope you go, improve yourself, and spread your knowledge to others. Even if the way you wish to gain knowledge is from just one amazing teacher, I need more people to keep trying, because our world needs so much repair. It is our duty to repair some of the damage that has been imposed on others, and I am absolutely confident that every single one of you reading this, has the ability to do so.
