　　I am a Teacher.
　　I was born the first moment that a question leaped from the mouth of a child.
　　I have been many people in many places.
　　I am Socrates exciting the youth of Athens to discover new ideas through the use of questions.
　　I am Anne Sullivan tapping out the secrets of the universe into the outstretched hand of Helen Keller.
　　I am Aesop and Hans Christian Andersen revealing truth through countless stories.
　　I am Marva Collins fighting for every child's right to an education.
　　I am Mary MeCleod Bethune building a great college for my people, using orange crates for desks.
　　And I am Bel Kaufman struggling to go Up The Down Staircase.
　　The names of those who have practiced my profession ring like a hall of fame for humanity... Booker T. Washington.　Buddha, Confucius, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Leo Buscaglia, Moses and Jesus.
　　I am also those whose names and faces have long been forgotten but whose lessons and character will always be remembered in the accomplishments of their students.
　　I have wept for joy at the weddings of former students, laughed with glee at the birth of their children and stood with head bowed in grief and confusion by graves dug too soon for bodies far too young.
　　Throughout the course of a day I have been called upon to be an actor, friend, nurse and doctor, coach, finder of lost articles, money lender, taxi driver, psychologist, substitute parent, salesman, politician and keeper of the faith.
　　Despite the maps, charts, formulas, verbs, stories and books, I have really had nothing to teach, for my students really have only themselves to learn, and I know it takes the whole world to tell you who you are.
　　I am a paradox. I speak loudest when I listen the most. My greatest gifts are in what I am willing to appreciatively receive from my students.
　　Material wealth is not one of my goals, but I am a full-time treasure seeker in my quest for new opportunities for my students to use their talents and in my constant search for those talents that sometimes lie buried in self-defeat.
　　I am the most fortunate of all who labor.
　　A doctor is allowed to usher life into the world in one magic moment. I am allowed to see that life is reborn each day with new questions, ideas and friendships.
　　An architect knows that if he builds with care, his structure may stand for centuries. A teacher knows that if he builds with love and truth, what he builds will last forever.
　　I am a warrior, daily doing battle against peer pressure, negativity, fear, conformity, prejudice, ignorance and apathy. But I have great allies: Intelligence, Curiosity, Parental Support, Individuality, Creativity, Faith, Love and Laughter all rush to my banner with indomitable support.
　　And who do I have to thank for this wonderful life I am so fortunate to experience, but you the public, the parents. For you have done me the great honor to entrust to me your greatest contribution to eternity, your children.
　　And so I have a past that is rich in memories. I have a present that is challenging, adventurous and fun because I am allowed to spend my days with the future
　　 I am a Teacher...
　　我是老师。
　　我出生于世界上第一个有疑问的孩子提问的那一刻。
　　我曾是许许多多地方的许许多多的人。
　　我是苏格拉底，鼓励雅典的年轻人通常提问寻求真理。
　　我是安妮·沙利文，让一个名叫海伦·凯勒的盲聋哑女孩子感触到宇宙的神奇，成为一名杰出的作家。
　　我是伊索，是安徒生，用一个奇妙的故事启迪心灵。
　　我是玛瓦·科林斯，为每一位孩子享有受教育的权利而作不懈的努力。
　　我是黑人玛丽·麦克利奥德·贝林思，为受到种族歧视的黑人们创立出一所着名的高校。
　　我是贝尔·考夫曼，拖着病残的身子让孩子们在知识的天地里健康成长。
　　我还有很多的名字——布克·华盛顿、释迦牟尼、孔子、拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生、利奥·巴斯卡格利亚、摩西、耶稣……这些名字以博爱之心和人文精神誉满天下。
　　也有些名字，或许早已经被人们忘却，但它们会融入学生们在各行各业取得的成就之中，并以这种方式得以永存。
　　我愉快地参加昔日学生的婚礼，开心地看到他们的孩子出生，也在一些英年早逝的学生的葬礼上肝肠寸断。
　　一天当中，学生们需要我成为演员、朋友、护土、医院、教练、失物寻找者、借款人、出租车司机、心理学家、政治家、临时父母……
　　 我给学生们讲语文、数学、美术、音乐，但是我知道，这些远远不够，我需要激发学生主动学习的求知欲，让他们积极地向全社会学习。
　　物质财富不是我生活的目标，但是追求财富却是我的职业。我要创造尽可能多的机会发挥学生的才智，使可能会埋没在灰心丧气中的才智闪现出光辉，学生的这些才智便是我的财富，更是社会的财富。
　　我是劳动者当中最幸运的人。医生是将生命带进世界的引导员，而我每天都可以看到生命的变化，看到一个个日臻成熟和美好的生命；建筑师可以匠心独运，将一幢大厦耸立几个世纪而仍然巍峨壮观，而我用爱和真理所创造的却可以一代又一代地永久地传播下去。
　　我还是一个战士，每天要与恐惧、偏见、无知、冷漠作斗争。所幸的是，爱、智慧、个性、信任、欢乐、好奇心、创造力，这些都是我的盟友，它们是我坚强的后盾。
　　我的过去充满了丰富而美好的回忆；我的现在既有挑战又有欢乐；我的未来寄托在学生身上，将无比辉煌。
　　我是老师……
