Teacher to Principal, Thank You

Hi Lauren,

I have to thank you for bringing Rich Johns to school today. I think I may have gotten more out of it than the students. I was moved beyond tears and words, and was profoundly impacted by his presentation. I’ll never forget it and I’ll never be the same. Actually, I think I’ll be better…more confident in my sensitivity…if that makes sense. You see, I’ve always been very sensitive to everything. A minister once told me that I am sensitive to the world. Funny, Mr. Johns said almost the same thing to me today. Sometimes, I think I’ve gone into the wrong line of work and yet other days I know I’m right where I belong. It’s days like today that I’m sure of that. It’s the Jordan’s, Abbey (s) and Gabby(s) of the world that remind me of this. I know that there will come a day when I’m meant for something else, but until then, I hope I can impact at least one of my students even half as much as Mr. Johns did for me today.

Sincerely,
Beth Whyte
