I was worried about money and my 100 days of school no Prob-llama shirt from work said you don’t need to worry about money. You can get through this and I did. Thank you for that. Just enough words to encourage a child. That better than candy silly me but I do appreciate this no matter what color a kid is. The problems are not there but the battle is there. Thank you. Such a beautiful account of the way one teacher encouraged a child. The role of a teacher is to be a cheerleader in every student’s life. We are so focused on grades and test scores, we can forget the absolutely wonderful unique beings that are in our classes. All different, all special. Kind Mexicans drew the college Spanish I had studied, out of me. I too was too scared to talk or remember.
