Who you are is more important than what you teach.

Everyone who is 21 has been 12 but noone who is 12 has been 21.

SARAHDIPIDY: Blowing Rock, North Carolina, United States; As a fourth grader I was in awe of my teacher Miss Kestler who was tall, athletic, funny and musical. In May of each year we had a wonderful May Pole with streamers, a May Court, dancing and singing to welcome spring. She taught us the songs and dances. I still have a phtotgraph of all us fourth graders with Miss Kestler sitting on the steps at Davie Avenue School. She was a wonderful model of a teacher. No wonder many of us were inspired to follow in her footsteps. It was she who taught me that as a teacher it was more important who she was than what lessons she taught. I've taught language arts, English, History and Social Studies in public schools through the years. After I retired I became a part of the adjunct faculty at ASU, teaching Children's Literature. I find that I learn as much as I teach. I look forward to my learning experience with you at Lenior Rhyne. I look forward to working with all of you at LR.
