When I walked in today, one of the students remembered my name. Because the students have so many options each day for the A+ program, it’s difficult to find students that are consistently in the homework room for the first option. Especially since it had been a while since seeing this student, it was still a heart-warming moment to know that I had been significant enough to be remembered by name and not just another one of the many helpers that help facilitate the program. Now, I have a student that likes to know what I do all day as a college student and how this compares to his own student life as a 4th grader.
It makes me so happy to come to this blog and read something like this. I love how remembering a name is something so… simple, and yet so meaningful. This student looks up to you, and you’re inspiring him to the point where he is comparing his daily life to your college experience – and so possibly trying to imagine himself in your position, in the future. And that’s awesome! 😀
Thank you for sharing this with us!!
I think that is really cute and amazing that you’ve had an impact on his life. I think it is important for kids to have role models to look up to so I think its great that he has you!
