While I am sure that her behavior stretches your patience as her classroom teacher because we are task oriented. Aggie may have a different strategy for learning. I would like to know how she does on that big assessment test. I think we may all be surprised. Jill:

A new day brings with it new meaning, a fresh start, and another chance to make a difference in the lives of others. I would welcome the opportunity to experience this. DM:

Although frustrating, you took a moment to truly appreciate Aggie for the person she is. You connected with her by accepting that leaf and I'm betting little moments like this will draw her closer and closer to appreciating your concern for her and her math. She'll work for you, I just know it. Humanity first - math second. You're awesome! Jill - What a powerful story about appreciating the gifts that Aggie was trying to show you.

Although the norms of society may have told him to head straight to college, you saw a talent in him that many were afraid to see. You embraced him, helped him rise, and now he gets to reap all of the benefits. Thank you for thinking outside of the box for this young man. He had a passion and you refused to let anyone take that away from him. Good for you! Laura - It is clear that you became the “elevator” for this young man.

Your ability to understand his message of "all of us together" has indeed made you an excellent teacher and administrator. To you, all means ALL when it comes to kids and you'll settle for nothing less. The children you come in contact with daily are so lucky to have you in the their corner!

We become one with it. It gives us those moments of transcendence or being one with the universe and at times hearing the voice of God. Thanks for sharing.

John Paul was special and you were fortunate to see him. He always offered the message of hope and held a deep belief in young people to make our world a better place. That same message is part of the mission each of us takes to our daily work. Thanks for sharing. RC J. John Paul was special and you were fortunate to see him.
