I never thought I would attend a flag football tournament until the day I became a teacher.

Back in September, I decided to surprise one of my students at his flag football game. He did not know I was coming and was overjoyed once he recognized me!

I felt moved to go and support him. His mom passed away years ago (imagine that-he’s only seven) and his dad isn’t around. He lives with his Irish Grandmother whom he calls “Oma” and his older sister. I see that he needs a male figure in his life and God placed me as his teacher to be just that for him.
