Teacher Metaphor
I am a teacher like a salmon returning home from the ocean. With me I carry an over powering instinct to return to the waters where I was born no matter what the cost. I will struggle with predators, obstacles, and above all, the current of the river. I must overcome these challenges. The future of my race depends on my survival. I must complete my journey. The challenges ahead begin immediately. My first struggle is with the unpredictable currents of the river. These currents are dangerously tricky. One minute they will push me toward the bank of the river where hostile animals wait
It is easy to push upstream in the slow moving water. I must educate those who will go out into the world around us. I use my instinct to help me return to home waters. It guides me like a map up the dangerous waterways. If this fails I contact my fellow salmon to help me find a way around the large obstacle. The white water leads me to the hardest obstacle I have had to face, the dam. The white water rapids force me to push forward up the river or lose my ground and begin again. I muster my strength and push closure toward my ultimate goal. I must use the last of my energy to ensure that my race will continue. Now the river has become fast and rough. I repeat this process many times on the way home.
