Inspiration

Today's Thought is a simple one: Inspiration.

As a teacher, so much of what I end up doing, is inspiring kids to follow their dreams. Granted, a lot of that is hard, not-always-successful work trying to get them to find their dream. I think part of the reason that superhero movies are popular is the sheer inspiration that they offer. Take the general template: an unassuming regular joe finds out that (s)he has some special talent that renders him or her above the population. He or she must then grapple with how to use this power to serve the greater good.
Teachers, while they inspire, are just one source for inspiration. Who inspires you? Maybe it was a teacher. I was inspired by my high school teachers to pursue a career in education. Remember you inspired you, then use that to inspire yet another generation of superheroes.
