The school library had a contest to see who could read 1 million words in two months. I had a few of my students participating in the contest. One student in particular was really eager to win because he has entered every single contest the school has had to offer and has not won a single one. Last week he told me "Please Ms. Torres, could you please cross your finger and pray for me so that I could win? I really want to win!". He is so cute. So, today they announced the winner of the contest and it was him!!! He is so happy! But what melted my heart was when he asked me today "Ms. Torres, since I won this contest because of you and how you helped me with the books that I read and your encouragement, could I share my prize with you? I got $50 dollars to buy anything in the school book fair. Is there anything you wanted to buy from the fair? I want to get it for you!" How do you not melt????!!!!
