Hi Mackie....We're so glad that you could relate to this song. Actually, this one was written about alot of us. Maybe each of us had a teacher that saw something more in us, than we saw in ourselves....and then they proceeded to nurture it. I was one of those students, early on. Her name was Mrs. Eggleston and she was tough, but soft around the edges. She let a shy little girl know that she had potential and that I was okay....just as I was. I will never forget her. I think that is what a truly gifted teacher is all about. This song is dedicated to all of those people that do not get their "just due". Only one can be selected as "teacher of the year", but there are many others that leave an indelible mark on at least one student and make a real difference in how they perceive themselves for the rest of their lives. I thank them for that....and I thank you for weighing in and sharing an experience that songs are made of.
