Mrs. Thompson noticed that Teddy didn’t play well with other children in her class. His clothes were dirty and he needed a bath. Teddy could also be unpleasant and he didn’t do very well in his study.
At the end of the term, Mrs. Thompson had to read each child’s past records and she put Teddy’s off until last. After she finished reading what other teachers wrote about Teddy, she was surprised. Teddy’s first grade teacher had written, “Teddy does his work nicety and has good manners. He is a joy to be around.” His second grade teacher had written, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled by his mother’s illness.” His third grade teacher had written, “His mother’s death has been hard on him.” Teddy’s fourth grade teacher had written, “Teddy has changed a lot and doesn’t have many friends.”
Mrs. Thompson felt so sorry for what she had done to Teddy. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she opened Teddy’s to find a bottle that was only one quarter full of perfume. She took the bottle and put some of the perfume on her dress. Teddy stayed after school that day just long enough to say: “Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my mom used to.” She cried for at least one hour.
On that day, Mrs. Thompson began to teach. As she worked with Teddy, he seemed to be different. The more she encouraged him, the harder he studied. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the cleverest children in the class.
Years later, she got a card from Teddy. It wrote: Thank you for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.
