Thank you to the people who will read this & get something from it like we did.
-----------------------------------
Our teacher quit his teaching job.
He was found a week before the beginning of school.
He couldn't control the classes.
We talked when we shouldn't talk, we didn't pay attention & we disrespected him.
We've been given substitutes until a new teacher's found.
All the substitutes have been treated like the teacher was, except for today.
This one was different.
His name was Bob, he's diagnosed with Polio(a disability that causes his arm to twich & limp).
He told us this,
-"You will never find someone who respects all of you like I do. You all treated as my children."
-"Do you think I like what I see when I look in the mirror?"
-"What makes me happy, is to see you become a better person than myself. That's what makes me happy."
The vaccine for Polio was created 5 years after Bob was born.
He told us many things that really made us think differently.
Like someone who thinks school is pointless & drops out, if he continued his education & moved forward, he could of been the person to find the cure to cancer.
Bob all in all pretty much showed us, that we should live up our life.
We only get to live it once & make something out of it.
Also that we should be grateful for what we're given & everyone's life is valued.
This man, turned my disrespectful, loud, talkative classroom
into a silent classroom, with all their attention & respect to him.
It's been the first day this class has ever been in complete silence.
This man had everyone teary-eyed & changed us all.
As we walked out, we thanked him for everything he told us.
We walked out different than we walked in.
Thank You Bob for showing us the meaning of life & everything in it.
We'll make you proud, this is for you.
