Because of a Teacher

By chance, I stumbled upon the most uplifting Dateline episode tonight. "The Education of Ms. Groves" told the story of Monica Groves who, inspired by her first grade teacher, spent the year after college graduation teaching sixth grade English in an Atlanta middle school. I laughed, and I cried, and I saw so much of myself as she struggled along that rocky road. She triumphed in the end...all because of the example set by Ms. Kamminga.
