Thank you so much for sharing this story. The teacher in me is especially touched…wondering…hoping I can have such a profound impact on at least one of my students one day.

Great post, nice to see you get so much from what you do.
I will never forget a teacher I had years agom she was only there a short time but made such an impact. At the time I was struggling with lots of things, my home life at best we poor, my sence of me was low and direction was lacking. Yet in her own way she saw past this and really saw me, she saw the frightened child behind the mask, she looked past the black eye, or bruise and reached out to me. I will never forget the day she caught me fighting, nor her words when she pointed out she was disappointed with me…as at that moment I too disappointed myself, and let myself down, even though prior to this I was a regular little nutter who on the surface didnt seem to care! I guess in her own way she has some major impact on my life, I often wonder now where she is and what she is doing, but in the same vain her light will be touching the lifes of many others, she certainly was one of those rare people, once finds every now and again, whos true light shines through darkend clouds.

Lori–Great post. Love the stories about your various students. They are lucky to have you (and you, them). My day job is nursing. I’m a Cardiac Nurse. Too tired to dig out the teacher stories right now, but will get back with them. Peace to you.
