So grateful for teachers who make a difference! One of my most pivotal moments in life took place in a classroom. As a student graduating as a junior, I wound up mostly in classes without my main friend group and oftentimes even with people who were considered by the school to be "troublemakers". One of my teachers in this class pulled me aside one day and asked me to make efforts to get to know these students and lead by example. I learned two valuable lessons that day: 1) Don't label people based on their actions. These "troublemakers" usually are just misunderstood and eventually act out as a result of that labeling. 2) Be a "same-level leader". A lot of times we think of leaders as someone with a lot more experience, wisdom, etc. than us, but some of the most powerful leaders are our peers! This teacher made a difference in my life by showing me how to make a difference in others' lives.
