A Teacher Story

One morning I found this on my desk...

"Dear Mrs. Pierce,

I am truly sorry about breaking your Eiffel Tower globe.

I was messing with your pictures when I should

have not been.  I picked up a picture and it fell 

on the globe and knocked it onto the floor.  I left

the room out of fear of getting in trouble.

I should have confronted you yesterday.  

I take all the blame and I am willing to make 

up for it.  Again I am very sorry that 

I broke it and I hope that you accept

my apology.

Sincerely...."

God bless this young man's heart!

He went and bought me an Eiffel Tower

AND a necklace as part of his apology.

  What a young man!

The fact that he felt guilty over

this AND went shopping with his own

money to buy me something?

Are you kidding me?!?  

I explained to him that a note

or just him telling me what happened

would have been perfectly fine.  

And he knew that....

this really showed the character

of a student who had already won

me over much earlier in the year!

I love my students.

They never cease to amaze me

and sometimes shock me;)
