Christi said... Paige, This is so true! I absolutely agree with you on this. You may not make a difference to every student but you may make a difference to that one student. That student you do make a difference to will never forget you either. This is so correct teachers should never give up!

Paige V. Baggett said... Christi, I just received a letter from that one student who took the time to let me know. She was one of my third-graders who I taught 26 years ago! Her kind words inspired me to post this and reminds me of how important it also is to let those who make/made a difference in your life know that they did.

Christi said... Paige, I bet that made you feel wonderful! I have so many fond memories of many elementary teachers that touched my heart and I wish I could let them know. My parents divorced when I was 7 and I moved so I would not even know where to begin to search since I do not know their first name. I'm getting my license reinstated so I've already finished my block. I do remember the sweet letters I would get some days left on my desk and especially at the end of my block that really touched me forever! I hope I did the same to those students also.
I'm getting my teaching license reinstated so I already have my teaching certificate.
I'm quiet at first, but wait until you get to know me! You will want me to shut up! Lol My friends say I'm short and sassy.
A delightful exchange. That is what blogging is all about! And a wonderful video clip as well!
