My poem went a little something like this: \u201cPenny is my very best friend. I\u2019ll love her to the very end. She\u2019s a very special wiener dog. I love her though she smells like a hog\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OK, so I wasn\u2019t exactly a first grade Dr. Seuss, but my poem was good enough to win first prize. (I guess the other first grade poets were really bad.) At any rate, I won a few sparkly pencils and the honor of going first in the lunch line. Mrs. True also displayed my poem in the front of the room for all to see. I felt very special.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"263\" class=\" alignright size-full wp-image-43483\" alt=\"Michelle reading from one of her children's books to a group of young readers.\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/blog_michellereading_300.jpg\" style=\"width: 300px;height: 263px;margin-left: 15px;margin-right: 15px;float: right\" \/>\u200bLittle did Mrs. True know that her lesson on poetry and subsequent contest was a turning point in my life. After winning that writing contest I thought to myself, \u201cHey, I am actually good at something\u2026maybe I should do more of this writing stuff.\u201d And, so I did. <\/p>\n<p>I started writing all the time. I wrote poems about every member of my family. I wrote short stories about two squirrels named Frank and Millie. I even became the editor of my elementary school newspaper, \u201cThe Panther Paw.\u201d And all the while, Mrs. True was cheering me on.<\/p>\n<p>Today, when I make appearances for \u201cYoung Author\u2019s Day\u201d at elementary schools and read my children\u2019s books to the students, I am always asked two questions: \u201cHow old are you?\u201d (which I quickly skip over) and \u201cWhen did you become a writer?\u201d Without missing a beat I always answer, \u201cIn first grade\u2026when Mrs. True taught me about poetry, and I won a contest for a poem about my big, fat wiener dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Teachers make such an impact on who we become as adults. They have a voice into our young, eager hearts, and that voice may be the only one that offers an encouraging word. I\u2019m so thankful for Mrs. True and for teachers like her who challenge young people to follow their dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Though I am not a teacher in the school system, I often teach at writers\u2019 conferences, and I always ask God to help me be a \u201cMrs. True\u201d in someone\u2019s life. Offering an encouraging word at the right time can be life-changing for someone. Why not be a \u201cMrs. True\u201d in somebody\u2019s life today?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s pray for our teachers as they start back to school:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:40px\"><em>Father, thank You for Godly teachers in our schools. Bless them, Lord, and help them to be encouraged today, just knowing that they are making a difference in so many lives. As this new school year begins, Lord, I ask that You wrap Your loving arms around them and give them grace, patience, love and wisdom for their best school year yet. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Adapted from <\/em>Heavenly Humor for the Teacher\u2019s Soul<em> (Barbour Books 2011)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
