Rachelle, I sorry I didn't see this earlier so I could've voted, but of course, you didn't need it. Congratulations not only on winning and All Time Best, but especially for your wonderful influence on those girls and the many others you have taught ad trained. What a wonderful legacy!

Well done on your well deserved win, Rachelle, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get to read this. You've taught children of all ages and so many different subjects, you've brought joy into so many minds, that is why you are a much loved teacher, well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Rachelle...
Incredible. These students, young and in the eighth grade knew they wanted to be teachers. You took it steps further and tutored them on how to become teachers. You also gave them the ability to earn some significant cash for college. You and they, have created lifetime memories that could be written into a novel!
Very well penned and a great story. Congratulations on winning the contest.

Funny you should mention "novel." I have an autobiography on Amazon, if you're interested. It's entitled "Lessons in the Key of Life" and is about the lessons I've learned from the lessons I taught.
Thank you for this very validating review. I appreciate it immensely. xo
Comment from Kaiku
I give you a six just because you hit a chord (and not necessarily a music one, if that's possible). I would agree that nothing is more rewarding than realizing through the success of others your very own success. Kudos.
For You!

Comment from A.Myers85
I love your piece!!!! So much passion and tender care; an overabundance of love and willingness to nurture her students until they master whatever skill they need. What a tremendous and impactful entry. Thank you for sharing. I've only started my 9th year of classroom teaching, but I hope to reach my 40th year milestone one day. I wish you the best of luck!

I love your review. You total "get" every last point I'm trying to make. This says loud and clear that you are the kind of educator every child wishes s/he had...and every parent is grateful when their little ones are in your class. Thank you for really brightening my day today. xoxox VERY much appreciated. xo

You are very much welcome, Rachelle. It's beautiful, and one I'm adding to my bookshelf here because it's that good. :D :D

You sound like an amazing teacher as you teach others to teach as you go. It sounds like it is fun and rewarding and you create lasting friendships.
Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Writebynight
A lovely poem and what a great story to go along with it. The poem offers real insight into your mentality as a teacher and then the story backs it up with something incredible you've done for some of your students. Amazing!

I think the bottom line is that when you love it, it's not work. I have no intention of ever retiring from this gig. Thank you for such a warm and encouraging review. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. xo
Comment from Soledadpaz
You must be so proud of all your student's impressive accomplishments, which you fostered and gave impetus for. This is a wonderful poem depicting the joys of teaching. I absolutely love the fourth stanza:
Growth is like a gorgeous plant
which started as a sprout
Caring's the ingredient
that brings its beauty out
When I read that, I see the children blooming.

Comment from RodG
Everything you said about teaching in this poem is true. There is nothing more rewarding than to see someone you taught go on to teach others. This poem was a real pleasure to read. Rod
