REGINA HENRY COMMENTED:
How will I be a contribution today?
I try to enter the doors of our school with a smile and a good morning as I stroll through the halls passing students thinking to myself “It’s going to be a great day!” I try to assist the parents and students as much as possible. I always keep in mind that we have them for the majority of the day and for some this is a safe haven, some are caring the weight of the world on them at such a young age, and as Tricia mention “We need to give them the benefit of a doubt.” It is such a great feeling when you reach at least one and he or she comes back to visit and say, “Thank you for always being there and believing in me.” He then goes to our conference room to speak to a small group of students about his college life. This is my daily contribution.
MY RESPONSE:
Wow! It's good to hear another educator get the same warm fuzzies that I enjoy receiving as well. There is nothing like hearing from a parent that my son hated language arts before but now all he does is talk about how he loves your class. It is those moments and the ones where I learn from the student that you made my day and that it was your talk or smile that made their experience all the better.
