Today, I got one of those sweet compliments that makes all the hard work we put in as teachers worth it. A former student of mine just got hired as ESPN-U. The girls' mother put this post on Facebook: "Well I just got the news- my girl is officially a reporter for ESPN- U ! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU !! You can do ANYTHING you put your mind to !"
I then responded by writing: "Yay!!! Okay, as her 6th grade language arts teacher, I have 2 things to say: 1) I'm not surprised 2) I bet she never thought writing all of those papers could turn into something so lucrative!" Then, my former student responded by saying, "Writing has always been my strong point, and it started with YOU!" What a nice compliment. I am smiling from ear to ear and I am so so happy for my former student. Hooray!
