Good on you, Newt! Who knows the magnitude of the impact that you had...

...on that little girl's life today, and all of the kids in the class, for that matter. That little girl needed someone to lift her up, and you seized the opportunity that fate offered you to be that for her today. Who knows how your kindness to her could completely change her school year, her childhood, and her life even. Kids need more people like you in their lives to help them learn the importance of treating each other with respect. They certainly won't get it from TV, movies, or video games, and sadly, many won't get it at home, either.

Teachers have a thankless job. Thanks for what you do.
