Highlight of the Day

When my students confide in me, I realize the impact I am making in my classroom and in my school. A student of mine today told me that her grandfather had recently passed and that she was struggling to cope with it. Though this was a hard time for my student, my realization that I have become a reliable authority figure in my school was an encouraging moment for me as a teacher. I want to be available for students like this one, and I want them to continue feeling confident in confiding in me.
