My students may never remember the grammar rules I taught them, but they will remember they were loved.<\/p>\n
How the chime of my bells sounded when the students rang them each day. How I would ring them back.<\/p>\n
How they wrote suggestions and I validated their voices.<\/p>\n
How they could come to me without judgement in their honesty.<\/p>\n
How I would call home for the good things.<\/p>\n
How I would call home when they needed support.<\/p>\n
How I showed up for them even when I couldn’t show up to class when I was sick.<\/p>\n
They won’t remember all the books, or lessons, or even my words.<\/p>\n
They will remember how I made them feel.<\/p>\n
I hope I make all of them feel loved.<\/p>\n
