Nice to know

Sometimes the blossoms come up in the most unlikely places, you know?

And at the most unlikely times - I've been teaching long enough to understand that some flowers bloom long after you are done tending that particular garden... but I digress from the point at hand - sorry.

Thank you for all the nice comments the young lady made a machine stiched kilt she promised to send me pics for me to show all of you, and yes Ron when business booms I plan to put her to work.

I wish their were teachers like yerself at suwannee high school, the art teachers were the only ones that was cool with me wearing the kilt and a few of the administrators...

Over the years I have seen similar instances - not too often but enough to help keep the faith. Without it I would have been gone from the profession decades ago. Good for you. Good for her.

Cheers! Bill

Some of these kids will go through school being labeled and not taught. If some teachers have a propblem inspiring them they sometimes give up. There is always hope that one teacher can get through and touch a nerve. It might have only taken one little thing to pull this child out of her shell.
That one little thing may turn into a big thing if it shows the child there is something out there for them in the future and they can do things they never thought possible before.
MacHummel, if there is one great story out of the whole bunch of kids you talked too that day, that's a very great day. To be the one who inspired a child makes a lifetime of teaching worthwhile.
