It's Nice to Be Remembered

I got an email from the parent of a former student. The student is now in seventh grade, and I had him as a fourth grader. It was very sweet, talking about his progress in middle school. He thanked me for all my hard work and patience with his son. It really means a lot to me. I worked very hard with his son, and it is nice to be recognized. It is wonderful to know that I made a difference in his life.
