I felt the yellow hair would talk to me

You heard it right. Yellow hair that talks. But before I get into that lovely story, I have another short one. 

Today in one of my classes I asked the kids to write about a time when they helped another person or saw someone else help another person that touched them. I have one girl in my 4pm class, 6th grade, and she's always that kid I want to yell "shut your mouth!" to, but can't for fear of being fired. Well, she was having trouble coming up with something to write about for the topic today. I was filling in grades, looked up, and saw her sitting there, dumbfounded. 

Me: "Nicooooole, you need to start writing."

Nicole: "Teachu, no time I helped someone."

Me: "What?! Of course you've helped someone. Think hard about a time you've done something kind for another person."

Nicole: "Hmm. No teachu. No time."

And I sit there feeling helpless, and then it came to her ...

Nicole: "Teachu! I help you!"

Me: "You helped me? When did you help  me?" Thinking this girl aint ever been a help to me. 

Nicole: "Teachu last week you were real sick. Teachu I was quite entire class. No speaking teachu. I help you."

Me: "Ahhh,  you didn't talk last class? Really? That's great! You did help me. Write about it!"

And now for the title story. This is a writing from one of my past students that entered into a speech contest with the topic "Best Teacher Contest". Another teacher sent this to me today. It is so sweet. A little redemption for the job I suppose. 

Don't mind the spelling errors please. Or that she used my middle name that I can't figure out for the life of me how she got ahold of. She's in all of 5th grade:

Best Teacher Contest - 

Name: Lesley Jeon

Class: Bridge reading/Thurs/4:00~7:00

I will tell you, my favorite, and best teacher.

My favorite teacher is Lindsey Ann Hampton, she was my teacher when I was in 'tera'. Now I am in Bridge, but I miss her very very much. Well, I think she is bright always. Isn't she? Also, she loved every student.

Here, I'll tell you why she is my favorite teacher.

First, I like her bright face. For example, she was always smiles as she was upset. Surprisely, her smile makes me comfortable. I like her smile because it like 'comfortable magic madicine'.

Second, I like her yellow short hair and her earings.

When she spoke to us, I felt the yellow hair would talk to me. Like... "Hello! Lesley, are you exciting now?"

Also, her earings would always change. All the student in our class knew that. But I like her earings too. She has star earings, leaves earings, flower earings, and long chain earings. I like all of them. 

Third, she is fair everyday. She called me 'smart' sometimes (^^) but she told everybody to that they were good or perfect. And she gave same opportunities to each students.

Forth, her voice is very good for class, talking or conversation. I remember until now, her wonderful voice. When it was my first time in Tera, I opened the door and say 'Hello' to Lindsey, then she said to me 'Hello'. Her voice was ebsolutly perfect. I remember corectly.

Lastly, she cares about each person carefully. I met her 'Winter symester second weeks' she talk to me

"Lesley, Bridge is okay to you? Well I think you are good at Bridge too!"

Those two sentences helped to me. Also, I try to be good too.

Accordingly, My favorite teacher is Lindsey.

I dream or hope, I will meet her next term. Also, I hope she will remember me until I meet her, again. 

Last... I hope I get a bright face as Lindsey has. :)

In conclusion, my favorite and also my best teacher in CDI is Lindsey Ann Hampton.
