I Want To Be Like You

Thank you, teacher,

for being my life's role model.

When I consider all you've taught me

and reflect on the kind of person you are,

I want to be like you—

smart, interesting and engaging,

positive, confident, yet unpretentious.

I want to be like you—

well-informed and easy to understand,

thinking with your heart as well as your head,

gently nudging us to do our best,

with sensitivity and insight.

I want to be like you—

giving your time, energy and talent

to ensure the brightest possible future

for each of us.

Thank you, teacher

For giving me a goal to shoot for:

I want to be like you!
