I started home schooling yesterday. Actually, she was still in the hospital, so we started there. It felt so right. That was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. I felt like a hero! I am sure that I make the same difference to all of the students in my class, but I just felt different.
I felt like she really wanted to be there. She wanted to learn. She pushed on, even though she was in pain.
What a tough, strong, brave little girl. I admire her so much!
Also, I must admit, there is some pride going on, knowing that she was in my class last year and that she was able to work through all of the beginning of the year stuff with no problem...especially in math! It made me feel like i did a good job last year!
But most importantly, it makes me feel good to know that I am making her happy. Let me tell you, she laughed out loud once during a story, and I am living to hear that laugh now. It was one of the most honest, good sounds I've ever heard.
