I
was at school late today and it was rewarded in a surprising way. It has been
an exciting day. Pierre and Gabriel came into my last class today which
was an awesome way to end my school day. It got even better!
As
I was working at my desk, a girl came into my classroom. I walked toward the
door, curious. It took me a minute to recognize her as a student who was
in my class last year, but hadn't come back to French II this
year because she moved to Colorado. She came by to let me know that she was
going to be in my class again. I was so happy to see her and she was happy as
well. Last year she was one of my timid students, so sweet and
hard-working. What joy it will be to have her in class!
Marielle
then said that her sister was going to be in French I! Yeah! How
exciting it is for me when siblings come into my classes. That opens up
the opportunities for them to talk at home and one to support the other.
Marielle said that she still has her notes from last year. Her sister then came
in and has the same beautiful smile. She also seems to have the same sweetness.
How wonderful it will be to have her in my class. I am so happy she chose
French.
In
the end, Marielle gave me a hug and said “It is so nice to see you.” That
warmed my heart and as I told her “À demain.” all I could think about was how
thankful I was that she came back to French.
This is why I teach!
