To be challenged by my teachers

I’m thankful for the ways in which teachers have called me toward my better self. These encounters are challenging, holding space for my resistance, bringing light to where I need to grow. I’m thankful when my teachers don’t give up on me, sometimes relentlessly so.

I’m thankful to be humbled and shown when I am wrong. Teachers guide me toward my heart and away from my ego.

I am thankful when journeys of learning are long, equipping me with the tools I need to face the challenges ahead.
