God Teacher Essay

A God Teacher is someone not just with influence on you, but also someone that has taught you a great lesson. This lesson can be anything as long as it made a difference to you. My God Teacher is my dad because he has taught me many things that have changed my view on life and other people. Although he does not know it, he is the best teacher I will ever have.

One lesson my father has taught me is that if I really want something you need to work hard to get. When I was younger and I wanted something really bad my dad would tell me if I really wanted it I would have to save my own money. If it was something like getting an A in a class he would tell me to study really hard. Not only does he advise me to work hard to get what I want, he sets a perfect example. For instance he has wanted a 1966 GTO since he was a kid. He puts a little money aside every week towards that car. The way this lesson changed me was that not is impossible to achieve if I work hard enough.

Another valuable lesson my father has taught me is to always do the right thing no matter what. One phrase my dad has said since I was a little kid is, “honesty is the best policy”. This lesson has taught me to put everyone else before myself. I feel this is one of the most important things my dad has taught me. An example is when my dad was kid he broke his door and his parents found it was broken and if no one owned up to the door being broken all 7 of his brothers and sister would of gotten grounded. So he did own up to it and didn’t get grounded that bad because he did the right thing and owned up to his bad deed. I had a similar scenario in middle school when I broke the chair and if I didn’t say I broke the chair then everyone at my table would of gotten so I owned up to it and got two detentions. This lesson changed by doing the right thing is the only thing there is no other option.

    I left my school books inside the bottom of my desk, just as all the students had done in my class. My father was home on vacation that particular day and asked me where my books were. I replied that they were in my desk at school. That answer led to a ten minute lecture on how I was to never leave my books at school ever again. He told me that I would never succeed if I did not take schooling seriously. That was the only motivational speech I received while I was in school. That conversation affects me to this day. I bring all the books I am required to buy at the beginning of each term to my classes. I purchase my books the moment I find out what books I need for that quarter. I have always strived to excel in all the courses I take because of that conversation. My father intervening made me angry at the time; however, over time it made me reevaluate my approach to school. Yes, it was difficult to carry all those books home every day after school, especially in high school, but that was my

    There is one main life lesson that I use all the time. And it is, to never be a quitter, because being a quitter is worse than losing. Being a quitter is even worse than being a loser. Cause, who would want to be called a quitter their whole life. I would rather spend extra time trying to get it down and done, then be a quitter. Cause if you quit at one thing, most will quit every time a roadblock is in their way.

  • My Mom is a Pathological Liar

    I think it was my mother who taught me the meaning of honesty. Not because she was honest, but because she lied all the time. She felt that the easiest way out of any given situation was generally the best way out. And, for her, that generally meant telling a "little white lie." As a young child I thought it was kind of cool. And, naturally, when I would come to her with a concern or question wondering what I should do, she generally advised me to lie.

  • The Ultimate Teacher: Jesus Christ

    Teaching and teachers have been around for a long time. In the Old Testament, the instruction was provided by the scribes. Even though we don’t have an in-depth description of teaching techniques, we do have an idea that the usual method was rote memory. The teacher’s role was to communicate the message and the hearer was to recite that same message back to the teacher. Teaching then moved to another phase – this next phase was to arouse the listener’s aptitude by presenting problems and to cultivate the students use of his powers by demanding that he exercise those powers. This background just mentioned was to help us understand the Old Testament teaching, which laid the groundwork for the ultimate teacher – Jesus the Christ.
