The Cool Teacher

I was thinking yesterday about how, when I was younger, I figured if I became a teacher, then I'd be a cool teacher like Mr. Turner from Boy Meets World. Maybe I wouldn't ride a motorcycle or have a kick-awesome mullet, but I'd want to be cool.
The more I thought about it, though, after being a teacher for a couple of years, I've come to a realization. I'm not the cool teacher. I'm more like Mr. Feeny, only not as wise.
By no means do I consider this a bad thing, but it's funny how your view of things change.
