He showed up at the door to school just as I was leaving this past week - with his "gang".
No one wanted to let him in. I was turning the corner and only saw him out of the corner of my eye. I stopped and opened the door and this tough kid and his gang tumbled into the hallway.
"Hey Miss - remember me???" I laughed and said "how could I forget you?" We chatted for a couple of minutes this gangly tough kid - who was - if truth be told - the thorn in my side for the years we shared the same school hallways.
He (and the gang) walked me to my car. As I got in my car - this tough kid said "You were always the best Miss !!!" And he turned and walked away leaving me with a big smile on my face and a warm feeling inside.
D'aww! :) :)
