How does a kid get lucky enough to have a 1st
grade teacher who adores him?
How does a kid build a bond with a teacher so when someone says something ridiculous, the two of them can look at each other and
smile?
How does a kid get a teacher who makes him feel as though he's the
most important person she’s met?
How does a kid who can talk your ear off, end up with a
teacher who takes time to listen to the details of his stories in awe, because
it makes him feel special?
How does a kid get a teacher who lets him bring his most
prized possession into her classroom? That being his cat.
Every once in a while, a person comes into your childs life,
and in those moments you know your kid has been changed for the better. This woman may never know the full extent of
my gratitude for her, or the number of doors she encouraged him to open this
year, yet I am certain she will forever hold a place in his heart, as she will
mine.
She is one of those
teachers.
And when that school year comes to an end, how do you say
goodbye?
