Kela wonders why I remember her, and I wonder how she is doing?
It surprises me that students don't realize how much of an impact they have on us, as teachers. It also surprises me how much impact we really do have on students. It isn't always a positive impact, and Kela's story reminds me to be aware of the words I say, the actions I do, and the willingness to understand the challenges of the students I encounter everyday!
Knowing what is happening with them can change everything!
