Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments.One of the most unforgettable _1_ when I was teaching _2_ grade 10 years ago.
In May I decided to plan something _3_ for the children; a Mother’s Day tea.We had put our heads together to _4_ ideas of how to _5_ 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 but very _6_ to learn that every mother was planning to attend.I _7_ invited my own mother.
Finally, the big day arrived.Each child _8_ up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom._9_ 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 _10_.
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 _11_ if you could keep my mother _12_ while I’m busy.”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table.Jimmy _13_ my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had _14_ the day before.Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep _15_.
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 _16_ and an evaluation of our trip.Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if _17_ was completed.When I came _18_ Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? 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 __19_ his own thanks and walked away.Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug.
I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had _20_ stopped hugging teachers years ago.
