There was one particularly excellent teacher who stood by me in my "darkest hours". I still pray for his soul today (passed on due to cancer.) Turned my bevahior around and ended up doing pretty darn well. I'm sure there are students out there who pray for you. As representative of one of those students, thanks.

Actually, I think I have a LOT of people praying for me. There's absolutely no reasonable explanation for some of the good things I see happen. It's certainly not me. Sometimes I think it's the prayers of the little ones themselves. This one told his mom, "Mom, it's my turn to pray today, your prayers aren't working." He had been struggling a little in reading. From that day on, he took off. Same with another girl. She was reading well (a fourth grade level), but had stayed there for a little while and was getting frustrated. Her mom said maybe she should pray a little harder. She prayed really hard that night. The next day she tested at a whole grade level higher. The faith of these little ones humbles me.

Thank you for your kind words.
