• Explanation: "This shirt that says 'future teacher' isn't just a piece of clothing – it's a symbol of inspiration, patience, and the incredible impact you can have on others. It represents the potential within you to educate, empower, and shape the minds of future generations."

• Real-Life Examples: "Remember when you helped a classmate understand a difficult concept or showed kindness to someone who was feeling left out? Those moments showed me just how compassionate and supportive you are. You already have the heart of a teacher!"

• Encourage a Growth Mindset: "Sometimes things might feel challenging, but that's when your inner teacher shines the brightest. It's okay to face setbacks; they help us learn and grow. Every obstacle is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your creativity and resilience."
