A teacher is...

You are a banker and an artist. You are a sprinter and a florist. You are an actor, you are a juggler. You are a queen!
You are a lawyer, You're a manager. You're a nurse, and you're a counselor. You do more by noon than most have ever seen...
You're a driver and a poet. A politician (don't you know it!)
You're a botanist, a strategist, and a judge.
You're a mother and a father. You're a runner and a tightrope walker. Your're a soldier fighting in the war on drugs...
You're a diplomat and an acrobat. You're a farmer. You're a friend. You tell stories, you mend fences... you build dreams!
You're an instructor and a trainer, a communicator and demonstrator...
You are a teacher!
You are incredible!
You are supreme!
