There is a story many years ago of an elementary teacher.
>
> Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in
> front of her 5th grade class on the very first day
> of school, she told the children a lie.
>
> Like most teachers, she looked at her students and
> said that she loved them all the same. But that was
> impossible, because there in the front row, slumped
> in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.
>
> Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and
> noticed that he didn't play well with the other
> children, that his clothes were messy and that he
> constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be
> unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson
> would actually take delight in marking his papers
> with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then
> putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.
>
> At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was
> required to review each child's past records and she
> put Teddy's off until last.
>
> However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for
> a surprise.
>
> Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a
> bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work
> neatly and has good manners...he is a joy to be
> around."
>
> His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an
> excellent student, well-liked by his classmates, but
> he is troubled because his mother has a terminal
> illness and life at home must be a struggle."
>
> His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death
> has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but
> his father doesn't show much interest and his home
> life will soon effect him if some steps aren't taken."
>
> Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is
> withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school.
> He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in
> class."
>
> By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she
> was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her
> students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in
> beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy's.
>
> His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown
> paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson
> took pains to open it in the middle of the other
> presents. Some of the children started to laugh when
> she found a rhinestone bracelet with some of the
> stones missing and a bottle that was one quarter full
> of perfume. But she stifled the children's laughter
> when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was,
> putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on her
> wrist.
>
> Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just
> long enough to say, "Mrs.Thompson, today you smelled
> just like my Mom used to."
>
> After the children left she cried for at least an
> hour. On that very day, she quit teaching reading,
> and writing, and arithmetic.
>
> Instead, she began to teach children.
>
> Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy.
> As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come
> alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he
> responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become
> one of the smartest children in the class and,
> despite her lie that she would love all the children
> the same, Teddy became one of her "teacher's pets."
>
> A year later, she found a note under her door, from
> Teddy, telling her that she was still the best
> teacher he ever had in his whole life.
>
> Six years went by before she got another note from
> Teddy. He then wrote that he had finished high
> school, third in his class, and she was still the
> best teacher he ever had in his whole life.
>
> Four years after that, she got another letter,
> saying that while things had been tough at times,
> he'd stayed in school, had stuck with it, and would
> soon graduate from college with the highest of honors.
>
> He assured Mrs.Thompson that she was still the best
> and favorite teacher he ever had in his whole life.
>
> Then four more years passed and yet another letter
> came. This time he explained that after he got his
> bachelor's degree, he decided to go a little further.
> The letter explained that she was still the best and
> favorite teacher he ever had. But now his name was
> a little longer.
>
> The letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D.
>
> The story doesn't end there. You see, there was
> yet another letter that spring. Teddy said he'd met
> this girl and was going to be married. He explained
> that his father had died a couple of years ago and
> he was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit in
> the place at the wedding that was usually reserved
> for the mother of the groom. Of course, Mrs.Thompson did.
>
> And guess what? She wore that bracelet, the one
> with several rhinestones missing. And she made sure
> she was wearing the perfume that Teddy remembered
> his mother wearing on their last Christmas together.
>
> They hugged each other, and Dr.Stoddard whispered
> in Mrs. Thompson's ear,
> "Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me.
> Thank you so much for making me feel important and
> showing me that I could make a difference"
>
> Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered
> back. She said, "Teddy, you have it all wrong. You
> were the one who taught me that I could make a
> difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you."
>
> Warm someone's heart today.... Pass it along.
> Never underestimate the Power of Purpose.
