@randybswollthornt: In 1972-73 I was bus to a all white elementary school where the parents and few teachers didn't want black students. One of my TEACHER was one of the people who dislike black people. Here is my very sad and painful story about my career day project 😢. #TEACHER #TEACHERS #teachersoftiktok #BLACK #BlackTikTok
Where is this teacher now and is he aware of your success?

I believe we are about the same age. I am so proud of you! As a teacher of predominately minorities, this breaks my heart! I wish you could speak to my kids so they would understand the importance of working hard. You, sir, are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story. 💕

My sons counselor told my son he was reaching to high to want to be a doctor. When my son came home from school and told me he was no longer going to go to medical school I became angry.

My teacher picked my career. I had to be a balloon girl. The rest of the kids got good careers like lawyers and doctors. I was so humiliated. I was the poor kid in class. I grew up to be a teacher so no other kids I taught would ever feel that way. My dream is that the children I taught have good stories to tell about me. You sir are an inspiration.

That is horrible. I am glad you achieved your goals. I had a teacher tell me not to go to college but go to a trade school instead. I earned a Master’s degree. I wish she could see me now!

My daughter wanted to be a doctor, her teacher in high school she should be a nurse instead why does she want to be a doctor. She felt so sad when the teacher told her that in high school and she never forgot it up this day. My daughter is now a Research scientist at a prestigious cancer research hospital and she’s well respected and I’m extremely proud of her. She wants to meet that high school teacher so she can say what she does now
