Ms. Hempel=Every Teachers Initial Attitude?

Throughout the story "Accomplice" the main character Ms. Helpel is extremely self conscious of how every single other person views her and interprets every single one of her actions. At a first glance it seems like she is full of nothing but insecurities, but later on she goes on to explain her father had rubbed off on her that way. This gives away the title because an accomplice is generally someone who helps somebody with their mission, and contributes to ones overall image and self, in which her father did to her. Her father not only contributed, but it seems as if he may have even shaped her whole entire self, because with every action she makes comes an explanation involving her father in one way or another.
Due to the fact that her father pushed her to always be an overachiever and to strive to be different, which comes into play quite a bit. Throughout everyones lifetime people will notice that all the new teachers always have so many high hopes and try so hard, sometimes even too hard. Since her father pushed her so much she has this mindset that forces her to not only get in the zone of "I'm going to be the best teacher ever" from the beginning, but locks her into place so she always has to be the best, do the best and be different while pleasing everyone. This is of course an almost impossible task which backfires on her when she gives the students too much freedom. Overall, this reckless move proves that her desire to be the best and different drives her teachings more than her common sense and her own teachings, which seems to be every other new teachers motives, from my personal experience at least.
