I was considered the most disruptive child attending Spring Park Elementary. Little did they know that I was the saddest and the loneliest child in the school building? I suppose it is impossible for a teacher to love every child they meet throughout their career. It has certainly become legally dangerous for any teacher to hug a child. Hugs are not necessary in order to save a child; all you have to do is look at them with a look in your eyes that lets them know that someone cares. It does not take a bright beacon of light or even a bright torch to save a child but just a small glimmer of hope, a hopeful light somewhere off in the distance that will one day learn how to become a bright beacon on its own. It is then that it will have been you who saved a wayward child. It is then that the greatest award you could have every received as a teacher will not be around your neck but living forever in your heart.
