This post is very timely for me. My daughter is a junior at St. Cecilia Academy in Nashville and is spending this coming week as an intern at Crieve Hall Elementary School in Nashville. She thinks she wants to be a teacher. How true it is: “Good teachers are priceless.”

Thank you for this post, Ramona! What a wonderful story of how life brought you back around to your 1st grade teacher! I often look at the eight-year-olds in my classroom and wonder what they will be doing 10, 20, 30 years down the road. And I wonder if they will think of me with the fondness that you have for Mrs. Camp. I wonder what things that I say will stick in their brains. It’s a BIG responsibility – sometimes overwhelming. I never realized that until Ali started school and I saw what a difference a teacher could make in MY child’s life. Anyway, this was a very special post. Thanks again!

I’m glad that you got to see her again. I agree with you. Teachers seem to remember more about you than you do them and kids remember things that always stay with them wether its big or small.
Happy New Year!!!
