May 9 Good Morning Alexa (Nat'l Teacher Day)



Good Morning!

Today Alexa informs us that it is National Teacher Day!

Two of my favorite famous teachers are Albert Einstein and Ann Sullivan.

Ann Sullivan taught Helen Keller at a time when disabled people were generally not expected to do anything.  Helen was both deaf and blind.  Ann Sullivan taught her to read sign language in her hand.  Helen attended college and became a famous writer.

Albert Einstein was a college professor as well as a superb physicist.

Most teachers do not become famous, but they have educated a vast number of people!  Today is a time to think about the teachers in our lives and how they helped us in our journey.
