I wasn’t good at maths when I was young. One day, when my second-grade teacher, Joyce Cooper, asked how much eight and seven was in class, I said “sixteen”. All the other students started laughing when they heard the number. I was very sad and almost cried.

Mrs Cooper looked at them with a stern look. Then she said, “We’re all here to learn.” And other students stopped laughing suddenly. I thought it was really great to be a teacher.

Another time, Mrs Cooper asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. I wrote, “I want to be a teacher like Mrs Cooper.”

She wrote down, “You would be a good teacher because you try hard.” I remember these words until now.

When I grew up, I found a job as a teacher. One day, I wrote a sentence with some mistakes(错误) in it on the blackboard. Then I asked the students to come and correct the mistakes.

A girl tried but she failed. She began to cry when she heard the other children laughing. I gave her a hug(拥抱) and told her to drink some water. Then, remembering Mrs Cooper, I looked at the rest of the class with a serious look. “We’re all here to learn,” I said.
