I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new
, and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting.
he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his

spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the
I had nurtured(培養(yǎng)) in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned (驚呆), for about half an hour,

one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the
of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention,
more, and became happy. And it was all because he
to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed
was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most
lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came
and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
