I cannot think of any profession that puts a person in the position to really "touch hearts" better than being a teacher. While a pastor/preacher/priest certainly touches hearts, but only has the opportunity to do so for a few hours a week, a teacher has a lot more time to "touch hearts."
A teacher can either make or break a child, whether for the better or worse, to inspire/discourage them regarding their education or positively/negatively impacting their self-esteem and outlook on life.
My daughter is a fourth grade teacher, just voted "Teacher Of The Year," and is getting ready for school to start again. When discussing her assigned class with the administration of her school, she was told, "We wanted these children to be in a class where the teacher could touch their hearts; therefore, we chose a teacher that has touched our hearts."
Now...that is making a difference in life!
