Th..."You are in the middle of my heart." That's a line that will always live in Megan's heart. The first year is so challenging, but what a gift J has given her - words to buoy her up on the tough days. And what a gift Megan has given J - to know that she is cared and loved, even when she's bad.

She clearly has given this love to her students. How special for her to get that note and realize the impact she is having on this girl's life.

I would say that she may have had a tough beginning, but to receive this in the first part of school is wonderful. The first thing I've told new teachers is that the students want to be loved, and how that happens is up to them, but they need to make it true. Go, Megan!

I think as teachers, we all carry certain students in our hearts forever. Your daughter sounds like a fabulous teacher. She is lucky to have the knowing support of her family.
