I've been devoted to education for 20 years. For a long time, I'd thought my students' winning competitions and my receiving honors were treasured moments in my career. But for me now, the most valuable moment happened when I was teaching third grade.
That year, I decided to plan something special for the children: afternoon tea with Mother. After all the preparations were made, each child took home an invitation. I was surprised and relieved to see every mother plan to attend. I even invited my own mother. Surprisingly, she was very cooperative.
Finally, the day arrived. That afternoon, each child lined up at the classroom door expecting the arrival of his or her mom. As it got closer to the starting time, I looked around and quickly found Jimmy, a shy boy. His mother hadn't shown up and he was upset. After a consideration, I took my mother by the hand and walked to Jimmy. "Jimmy," I said. "Since I'm going to be really busy today, I am wondering if you could keep my mother company." He nodded, looking excited.
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table with two other pairs. Jimmy served my mom treats, presented her with the gift I had made, and pulled out and pushed in her chair, just as he had practiced the day before. Whenever I looked, my mom and Jimmy were deep in conversation.
Now ten years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class from another city on a field trip. We went to a mountain by bus, where we spent two busy and absorbing days. The class were very easy-going and there was even a boy vaguely familiar. But the trip was over so quickly that I was even unable to put all their names to faces. Before we got on the bus to return school, I had the students complete an evaluation form of their trip. I collected and checked the forms one by one.
