Since some of my kiddos at school are bilingual, and TAKS is just around the corner, I have been working with some small groups in my old 3rd grade class. We have been doing reading passages.
Today, one of my boys came up to me and was so excited. He had gotten a 100 on his reading quiz. I was very proud of him. When I expressed my joy and excitement for him, he simply said, "Miss Martin, it was all because you helped me."

Oh my goodness! I had to leave so he wouldn't see me cry. It was such an eye opening moment, one that I will remember forever. To know that I made a difference in a child's life makes all of the projects, papers, sleepless nights and long days completely worth it!
