have a good lunch

as i was dropping my students off at lunch today, one of my girls looked up at me and said, "have a good lunch, ms. leung." the way she said it was so sweet, and her smile was so genuine...made me really wanna pick her up and give her a hug.

those six words completely made my day. i'd been having a cranky morning, and a lot of my other students were really out of it, but this one little girl had the ability to turn it all around. all with one little gesture of kindness.

makes you really think about how one simple gesture or even a greeting to someone can make such an impact on their outlook of life.

as a teacher, you tend to learn more from your kids than they do from you, no matter how well you teach them. i think the future generation of america will be okay after all :)
