Today I was sitting at my desk while my class finished up their journals and got out their vocabulary work. There was quite a bit of activity in the class so I didn't notice Girton and Betty Smith at my door at first. They caught my eye and it took me a second, but I realized why Betty was there; sure enough, there was Adam Smith ~ all grown up. I had Adam in class when he was in first, second and third grades. He was special, even then. One of the smartest kids I've ever had ~ understood everything and remembered everything the first time he heard it.
Now he's in the Army ~ Airborn. I had him tell my class a little bit about his job and some of the things he's done. He's on leave and then will be leaving for Germany for the next three years doing training.
What a blessing to see a student so successful all these years later. I do love being a teacher.
