Tonight is graduation at my school.
The kids I had as 7th graders my first year teaching at this school are graduating.
They have asked me to come.
They came to me reading below a 4th grade level and a string of emotional issues.
All of them are graduating.
All but 2 are going to college.
It is so rewarding to see that you have helped someone.
I am not sure I am going to get though tonight without shedding a few tears.
Congrats class of 2009!!

I know they were thankful to have such a terrific teacher. Well done!
they are so fortunate to have you. I had no great teachers!
That is awesome to hear! I think that a story like this deserves to be on a people magazine cover instead of someone who lost weight or a couple who are having marital problems! This is more important.
Congrats and I miss teaching when I hear stories like this!!!
