... A former student who had a lot of potential, but didn't live up to it, comes to visit and thanks you for your patience and encouragement. Alex came in on Thursday - "Thank you, Ms. S, for always being there, encouraging me through countless hours of unmotivated rambling, and for sending me to counseling." He looked so relaxed and happy - proud of himself because he followed through with the help for his depression and just finished his first semester at university with a 4.0 GPA - HOORAY!!!
... you get two presents in the same day - a bouquet of flowers from Martin and his mother - "Thank you for being so patient and always listening. I'm going back to SEMHS." - AND a thank you note from Jonathan, "Thank you for your help and time through all the stress of applications and for writing such great letters of recommendation for me." plus a copy of an early acceptance letter to USC for Jonathan!!! WOOHOO!!!
more to come...
