I had one of my former students from last year come into my class this morning. She is a senior this year. She was an average student, I had to push her a lot some days. She decided after taking Healthcare III that she would go to the nursing home and get her CNA. She is currently employed with the nursing home now. She has decided after graduation that she will go into the medical field. She was writing on my board before the bell rang. She said as she was leaving "read what I wrote on your board." When I finally looked up and read what she wrote I was amazed. She wrote "Thank you Ms. Thomas for being my inspiration" I thought how sweet this was. You never know who you influence in this life. This was very surprising to me that she thought I was her Inspiration

This is a wonderful story. This is one to store in your mental archives to pull out on a "bad" day. It will help lift your spirits and remind you that what you are doing does indeed make a difference in your students' lives.
ReplyDeleteThese little treasures are the ones in my "scrapbook" of sorts. If it's on my board, I take a picture of it and put it in my book. If it's a piece of paper, I just attach it. I look at these on those bad days. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story!
