Sam - A Student’s Comment That Brightened My Teaching Journey
💙💙💛💙💙💚💙💙💛💙💙💚💙💙💛💙💙💚💙
As educators, we often
dedicate our hearts fully into what we do, like crafting lessons, ensuring that
each student has the best chance to succeed. While we’re not always sure how
our efforts are being received and what results come from them, there are moments
when a simple comment can remind us why we embarked on this path in the first
place.
One such moment came
from a student who said, “Thank you for teaching me! I learned a lot from
you.” At first glance, it might seem like just another ‘thank you,’ but to
me, it meant so much more.
There were days I
wondered if they truly understood the material or if my teaching style was resonating.
So, hearing these words from that student felt like a gentle reminder that, even
in the moment of uncertainty, we’re still making a difference.
Teaching isn’t just
about delivering content. It’s about creating an environment where students
feel supported, heard and motivated to grow. When a student acknowledges that
they’ve learned something meaningful, it’s not just a reflection of what
they’ve gained, it’s a reflection of the bond we’ve formed along the way.
