I envy my daughter's childhood.

My younger sister had kids before I did, and managed to earn a master's degree while raising them as a single parent. Now she's a brilliant second-grade teacher. I'm in awe of her ability to juggle everything and still be a great mother.

My daughter became a teacher right out of college.

As the daughter of two teachers with first-class degrees, I'd always seen myself as a duffer by comparison.

It's cool cause my sister is older than me and we went to the same high school, so by the time I got to high school, I got the lowdown on all the teachers and everything.

I was home-schooled. My mom wasn't a fan of public school systems.

I don't envy my teachers. I used to preach to them.

I've been lucky because I've had wonderful teachers along the way who have nurtured and pushed me to the next level.

I was the daughter of teachers, so school was always very important. I liked it.
