I went t a meeting at a high schl. At lunchtime, I saw a yung girl wh lked famillar.
I knew she had been a student f mine but I culdn't recall her name. It really made me sad,
as I have always been able t remember ld students.
Her eyes met mine and she threw her arms arund me and said,
"Mrs G, it's me, Sarah, and I'm still writing!" All the memries sn came back t my mind.
Yu see, Sarah was never a student in my classrm. Sarah's mther had left her family and her father was absent frm her life as well. She was sent t live in anther family the year I met her.
Sarah was angry, ften gt in truble and was ften in the head teacher's ffice. It was during ne f thse ffice visits that I first met her. She was writing in a ntebk with a rather angry lk n her face. I intrduced myself t her and asked her what she was writing abut.
Sarah shared her stry with me. Her writing spke t me and I knew it was gd fr her t put her thughts n paper. Every mrning at schl, she wuld cme int my classrm and we wuld wrk n her writing skills.
My experience years ag with Sarah taught me that teachers have a great influence upn their students, even when thse students are trubled. Taking the time t talk with a child has the pwer t truly change that child's life. That's why I teach.
