As teachers, how often do we stop to think about how much of an impact we could potentially make in the life of one of our students. Even if that student doesn’t ever thank us or even show marked improvement in their academic skills or behavior or whatever, we still may be helping him. Our job is often thankless. Our job is often life-changing. We will not know this side of heaven the number of lives we have changed.
I was recently contacted by a reader who shared an amazing story with me. This deaf man, Stephen J. Hopson, was changed by three simple words from his fifth grade teacher. The story, and the accompanying video, truly made me smile. I know that my high expectations upset my students sometimes, but when they get it, they are often noticeably happy. Some students come to us with advantages that others don’t have. Some come with disadvantages. We can be the pivot point in their lives. We can be the catalyst of a completely new outlook.
