From Shannon and Dance Fusion: On Tuesday, while waiting for my students to arrive for dance class at Price Elementary, I saw a former student in the hallway. I taught him two years ago and he is now in middle school. I must admit I needed help in remembering his name. Once he told me, I remembered him in my class as if it were yesterday. We spoke for a few minutes and he told me all about how he likes middle school. Then I asked him if he remembered my name. Without hesitation he said, “Of course, Miss Shannon”. This was his response when I asked him how he still knew my name, “Because your class was the best. You were the coolest teacher”. Wait, this was coming from the student who had to sit out of many classes because of inappropriate behavior? He reminded me that you may never know what kind of impact you may have on someone’s life.
