A Question and a Favor

I'm pre-empting my own blog today to ask you a question and a favor. I'm preparing a special presentation for our teachers on Teacher Appreciation Day, and since it will be my last, I want to make it unforgettable.

The question: Has a teacher ever shown you a special kindness that helped or motivated you? If so, what was it?

The favor: Please let me know about it in the comments. This can be any teacher you've had, or maybe it's a teacher someone in your family has had, or any one that you know about. I know there are teachers out there who shouldn't be in the profession at all, but I also know there are many more who bring unsung grace into the lives of kids every day. I truly hope you had at least one of these special people in your life.

Please don't be shy. It doesn't have to be long, and if you won't judge my grammar and punctuation, I won't judge yours.  :)

You all are THE BEST! I have to have this completed by the end of next week, so thank you for your help!
