I'm reminded to be grateful for the teachers I've had and have in my life. A teacher I'm currently grateful for is my dance teacher. He's in his late 20's, and has a dancer's body--tone and trim. I admire him for his humor, lack of inhibition, discipline towards his craft, and work ethic.
I also admire the way he responds to his girlfriend/dance partner when she gives him a hard time (which is often). She will pick at him for talking too loud while he's teaching, or something similar. She is temperamental and prone to perfectionism, but he loves her and is tolerant of her moods. He is not a doormat and will give it back to her when she's being disrespectful. He moves on and doesn't appear to let it affect the rest of his day.
