The beginning of a new school year is loaded with potential for teachers as well as students: hope that we will be our best person and our best teacher, goals for what we want to do and what we don't want to do, dreams of connecting with each and every student in a meaningful and memorable way.
Realistically, we know that our hopes, dreams, and goals won't always be met, no matter how hard we try. Experience tells us that students sometimes bring in more challenges than we can successfully solve despite the love, care, attention, and hard work we bring to the table.
While we love all of our students, the ones with those special, heart-wrenching needs can occupy a spot in our hearts for as long as do those who are super-successful.
