Being a teacher is a very important job. Students look up to them and these students' teacher might even become role models to them. This makes it important for teachers to make impacts on their students. Making sure that their students feel good about themselves and are proud. Joe Brooks, in his article "Teach it Forward and Reap it Forever," talks about an impact one of his teachers had on him. His teacher wrote hime a not saying what a pleasure it was having Joe in his class (Martin para. 6). This really impacted Joe and gave him a certain confidence (Martin para. 9). He now does this for his students, picking just one and giving them a note to tell them what a pleasure it was having them in his class (Martin para. 10).
Teachers really need to make sure that their students know that they are proud of them and enjoy being there. Joe encourages teachers to make sure that is known because who wants to sit in a class where their teacher hates everyone. As a teacher, people need to make an impact on their students, and there are many ways to do this.

I completely agree with this article, and your viewpoint. It is so nice to know as a student that your hard work paid off. Knowing that a teacher loves having you in class is a really good feeling. I want to be a teacher too, so I will remember this story and always try to let my students know how proud I am of them.
