Letter from Parent

The mother of one of my students e-mailed me today. I had her son Ryan several years ago. This was her e-mail:

 

I am so glad she has you this year. I totally believe Ryan wouldn’t be the person he is today if it hadn’t been for you. You gave him so much confidence and helped him believe in himself. Ryan’s story is truly a story to tell. Starting off with a learning disability can be hard enough but then to have suffered so much from the car accident when he was a sophomore; a brain injury and back problems; but he never gave up. And now he is so proud to have graduated with a 3.7 and get accepted to Sac State (by the way, he loves it there!) I think we all have one or two teachers that we never forget and I know for Ryan you are definitely one of them. Now for Makayla, Can you help her with her algebra too!J When she returns to school in a few weeks I was thinking about putting her in the after school program so she has help with homework. Do you know anything about it?

Hope to hear from you soon.

 

Tree Frog

My niece e-mailed me a picture of a frog she drew in art class. It looked great so I asked her how she was able to send it to me. This was her e-mail back to me:

"i took a picture of the paper with my phone, texted it to my e-mail, saved it on my computer, and e-mailed it to you as an attachment." 

Duh. Just like we did in middle school.
