Last Friday, one of my 6th grade students brought me a pack of notebook paper. I asked him what it was for and he answered, "Well I already have like three packs and so this is for you...I just thought you would need it".
I was speechless. I didn't know what to say and I would have just started crying right then and there if I had not controlled myself. I was just in awe of the fact that this student noticed. He noticed that I might need some paper and he wanted to contribute. He took the time to think in his head that hey I have all this paper and maybe Ms. P might need some...
...And it was then that I realized that you know what I could change things around. There was hope. There was a chance. And it only took a pack of free paper for me to realize this. Who would have thought.
-Ms. P
