Question

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable   16   when I was teaching second   17  , 10 years ago.

In May I decided to plan something special for the children: a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to   18   ideas of how to   19   our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day.  I was surprised and   20   to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I   21   invited my own mother.

Finally, the big day arrived. Each child   22   up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom.   23   it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking   24  . 

I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was   25   if you could keep my mother   26   while I’m busy.”

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy   27   my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had   28   the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep   29  .

Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day’s   30   and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if   31   was completed. When I came   32   Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Mara? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”

I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and   33   his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t   34   it.”

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had   35   stopped hugging teachers years ago.
