The Overlooked Teacher

to be honest, i've had some good teachers throughout my life. some were funny and helped us get involved in different and more intriguing ways. the one teacher that taught me the most about everything, the one overlooked teacher is my father. i actually learned math and was top of my class in math due to my father and his unmatched math skills. he explains it in a way that i can understand, cause he understands me. even more than math, he teaches me about life, love, acceptance, spirituality, and gifts i have never received in the classroom. not only that, but i enjoy learning from my dad, he keeps me interested. the way he relates things to me makes him the only person who has made me feel i truly want to learn more. so for all of the fathers who are overlooked, my dad is my best teacher.
