Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable  1when I was teaching  2grade 10 years ago.

In May I decided to plan something  3for the children; a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to  4ideas of how to  5our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised but very  6to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I  7invited my own mother.

Finally, the big day arrived. Each child  8up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom.  9it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking  10.

I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was  11if you could keep my mother  12while I’m busy.”

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy  13my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had  14the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep  15.

Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day’s  16and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if  17was completed. When I came  18Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”

I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and   19his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug.

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had  20stopped hugging teachers years ago.
