As a middle school teacher in JCPS the last couple of years have been truly difficult for my "kids." I try to one on one conversations with them when I see them struggling. After accepting this challenge I had one of these conversations with one particular student who before Christmas break was an amazing student and after break has really been struggling. in talking with her she informed me that she lost her mother right after Christmas. I told her about loosing my dad a few years ago and we shared good memories for a few minutes. These one on one's are my way to show the compassion I have learned from Christ with my students. This is the best of me!
