**My Favorite Teacher

Who is your favorite teacher? This is probably one of the easiest questions I will ever answer. I think it's also funny and telling that some companies use this as security questions. Just in case your wondering it's not the security question I choose.

My transition from pre-school to kindergarten was a tough one because I was a mommy's girl and apparently anti-social. Every morning for a year the teachers at the pre-school had to pry my hands and then my legs from my mom. They knew they had to watch me at recess since, I tried climbing the fence to go home a couple times. Yup, I was one of those kids.

So, naturally I thought it was the end of my life when I had to go to kindergarten ALL DAY......until I met a blond haired angel, with short curly locks and a smiley face......Mrs. Luckett. She was wonderful. She just seem to say and do everything right and it brought me so much comfort. She cared if I couldn't find my crayons, she cared if I felt sick but it was also how she didn't care. She didn't care about the mess I made with the glue or that I mixed paint colors. It was awesome.

Every morning, we had a routine. We sat in circle and sang a song, then we would do the pledge, and ABC's. Even at nap time I could count on her making sure David didn't come over and try to pull our dresses up. And the one time he did I scratched him pretty badly. Guess what? Mrs. Luckett didn't scream or get mad at me instead she talk to me and David quietly about what we did wrong. Why it was hurtful and how it wasn't nice and that people shouldn't hurt each other. I still wasn't David's biggest fan but neither one of us ever did it again.

I could go on and on about how wonderful Mrs. Luckett was but the things she taught me in class were never in her lesson plans. They were things of the heart.

Part I.

Chapter 1 Summary:

Literature is essential in the success of future readers especially when the love of reading is established at an early age. When children find enjoyment in reading they can find a world of imagination, adventure, comprehension and communication skills.

It is important to recognize that literature can help throughout the journey of ALL developmental stages: language, cognitive, personality and social development. By recognizing this we also highlight the important role literature plays in our lives.

Personalities are unique and are most obvious when we are young, while they can change throughout our lives some traits can remain constant. How we react in social situations is unique to that individuals personality.

Erickson believe there are eight pyschosocial crisis in our lifetimes which demands resolution before the next stage can begin. That successful learning leads to an adult sense of conformity sprinkled with unique qualities such as creativity.

Part II.

What is value? I thought about this question for a while because it such a broad question and means different things to different people. This is what I think value means: something we find purpose which drives the choices we make in life. For instance if someone values health they will make choices accordingly in supermarket, gym membership, etc.

What value is most important to you and why? My faith in God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I value my faith because it teaches me everything I need to know to live my life in way that is pleasing to God and ensure an eternal life. It teaches me how to raise my children, how to love my husband, self-sacrifice, servitude, and numerous other lessons.

Where did you learn this value? I learned this value from the Living Word of God the Holy Bible, through answered prayers, faith, church, family, going to classes but above all being witness to the power and miracle God has done in my life, healing the sick, interceding for others, and providing my family with an abundance of what we need when it seemed impossible.

Can you teach this value? How? Do you? Yes, I believe this value can be taught by example and the choices I make in life. I try my very best and draw strength from God. It's not easy when my example is the only begotten Son of God Jesus Christ who is free of sin but I'm being molded and shaped everyday. Sometimes it can be painful because by human nature we are sinful but the power of prayer is amazing and when you know your the daughter of King and a Father who sees you through loving eyes, it is He who I seek daily to keep my heart pure.
