Day 9!

Day nine of the thirty day challenge!

The challenge: Name your favorite movie and why it is so important to you?
This would have to be Dead Poets Society with Robin Williams. The basic story of that of a professor (Williams) who begins teaching a class on literature and poetry at an all boys boarding school. In the first lesson he teaches, he instructs his students to physically tear out the introduction to the textbook they are required to read (it has a "formula" for interpreting the meaning and worth of poetry and Williams' character disagrees with this method). Williams' character inspires free thought and pushes his students to develop their own ideas based on their own experiences. He is an inspiring teacher who greatly influences not only his student's education, but the reat of their lives. When I first saw this movie, I was in middle school and all I really took from it was how great of a story it was. But every time I watch it, I learn something new about education and the reason WHY education is so important. Its inspiring, how influential Williams' character is. I hope that I can be half the educator he is. I want to be able to inspire my students like that.
