There are kids that show and express every emotion they experience throughout the duration of a class. There are others that show some emotions but keep it controlled and but later share with me when the whole class isn’t watching. Still there are others who I cannot completely tell what is running through their minds and I often think I am just too much for the kids to take in and they tune me out. Today I had an interaction with one of those kids. She’s no longer a kid, she’s all grown up and was waiting on me at the register. In the world of masks, I didn’t not even take a full glimpse at this young lady as we discussed my purchase and then she started to ask questions about where she might I have met me. Her first options were a miss and then I was prompted to really look at her. I saw her name on her tag, then looked at her eyes and knew just who she was and where I knew her. In that same moment, she named where we knew each other. She asked if I was still there and I stated, “Yes I am and I am still the Crazy Teacher.” She looked at me with a smile in her eyes and said, “I just remember you made it fun.” Now many would jump to the conclusion, that it was fun because, it’s phys. ed. however, not all students love the gym and this student never ever had me in a gym. I received a gift from this young lady. There are many days I wonder what I am doing, if I am doing right, if I am doing it well and if it even matters. I haven’t taught this young lady in years but she remembers. It brought a spark. A brought a spark to me as well, to remember, I won’t always know if the seeds take root but I have to keep planting. Thank you Lord for allowing me to see where you lead me to lead, matters.
