It was kind of cool; the other day in our local paper, a former student of mine had won several levels in the science fair. And the paper says this,
"That’s when a substitute Derek Bright, at Rio Vista Elementary, inspired him."
It is pretty cool when I don't have to make up good things about myself to tell others. It is nice when the compliments come from unexpected places. This was very, in a sense, validating. Part of the reason for getting into teaching. You hope for moments like these. It makes all the difficult work even more worth it. This will be an encouragement for a while.
I am honored.
