Welcome to My Teacher, My Hero

Posted Sept. 1, 2009

Summer is officially over. I know this because as a rite of passage, this morning began with thousands of alarms going off followed by hundreds more snooze buttons being slammed. Indeed, it's back-to-school for kids of all ages.

So around the country number 2 pencils are being sharpened, warning bells are buzzing, school buses are humming, lunch ladies are cooking, and, best of all, teachers are teaching.

I can't count the memories I have relating to my school days, but I'm sure that, like any good homework assignment, I've forgotten many of them. Despite this, I have never forgotten the teachers who impacted my life the most.

Today, in honor of teachers and commemorating back-to-school, I'm passing out a social media assignment (yes, an assignment!) and I hope you'll pass it on to all of your friends and colleagues.

Right from your computer's webcam or a camera, make a short video about a teacher you'll never forget and why he or she was so important to you.

Give this assignment to your friends:

Best,
Jeremy
