I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and loved person in my life. Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didnt mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars. And he was demanding but he wasnt unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it. As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I dont know the answer,” I would say, “I cant do it!” “Perhaps you dont know the answer,” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do until you try?” Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough. “Dont be so hard on yourself,” hed say. “Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well, then youre not a failure,” he often told me these words. Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I dont feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We cant all be “the best”, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know thats true because Mr. Myrus told me that. 24.
