      Extremely sad to have read this...Rest in Paradise, Mark. I am just so surprised, no one ever said anything to the teacher, it is WRONG, who the heck was she to put tape over his mouth...that's just not right. More meaningful to me, about this story, is that Mark obviously looked past the incident and has more integrity than this teacher. A hero, not only for serving our country, but also, for keeping his composure to never be disrespectful to the teacher, but for being strong against being humiliated and even a form of abuse. God bless you, Soldier...

This video reminded me that one action can make a big difference.

Know why? The other half of us gets more attention. It's sad. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. How can I possibly amount to anything, do anything, _be_ anything, if every good thing I do goes unnoticed.... and the one moment, the one moment I slip, I get screamed at, hatred shoved in my face, my existance's importance questioned. Truly, truly, - I suppose it means we must try all the harder, if not for ourselves, then for others just like us in the way that they are great people, hidden and burried by the avalanche of garbage that takes up a huge small half of our generation.

    I heard this story in fifth grade right before everyone in the class made our own lists. We did it differently by passing papers around the room that had a classmate's name on it. We did this on a Friday when a substitute was in the class with us. I didn't get to all of them and some of them were hard to write positive things on because I had a negative relationship with them. I still did my best and I regret that I didn't keep my list. I had planned to keep it but I soon lost it. I don't remember what it said on the list but I do remember how good it made me feel. It was one of the best days of my life. I always believed the teacher in the story to my fifth grade teacher but now I'm not so sure. I hope it is though because it makes her more amazing than I already thought she was the way she could influence so many people like that.

    •  6 лет назад +2

      Pixiewings 6253 We did the same thing. We also drew our hands on the paper with our name before letting others write messages. I was missing at school that day but one of my classmates decided to take another sheet of paper, drew a heart on it and sent it around the room with my name so I could have my own list as well. One of the nicest things anyone ever did for me, really.

    My 7th grade Latin teacher had “Journal Time” in her class every week. She’d put a phrase in Latin on the board, translated to English, and ask us to write about what it meant personally to us. She wouldn’t read it if we asked her not to, but otherwise would read every single person’s journal and write a reply to them. I always wrote on subject because they were so interesting, except for one time I was hurting because the kids were giving me a hard time earlier that day and wrote about that. I remember she said she was sorry that they were doing that, I didn’t deserve that, and that she couldn’t tell me who because of the confidentiality on the journals, but one person in the class often wrote about how I refused to let my classmates change me even though they gave me a hard time and I stuck up for other people I saw getting bullied even though I knew it meant they’d then focus on me. This person wished they could do what I did and thought I was very brave-and she my teacher-thought so too.
    That meant the world to me. I still have that journal among my special things.

      I assume you mean the letters and not the tape. Also, kids are not taught respect these days. It would be much harder to do now. People would write hateful things. Adults should have the brains to do it now...write letters to those you love and appreciate and tell them what you like, value, appreciate.....and leave out anything and everything negative. Just tell them what you'd like them to know if you didn't see them again.

    I think I've heard this story before, in Sunday school when I was a kid. I didn't quite get its full impact at the time, but when I watched this video I actually cried. I almost never cry at RUclips videos, but the teacher is right-if you see good in someone, you should let them know. It's like a fortune cookie I got one time, saying, "Compliment three people every day." This turns out to be a bit more of a challenge than I thought it would be, but making kindness a daily practice is good for the soul. Especially if you mean it.

    One of my friends passed away recently due to an asthma attack. I met her this year in high school. She was so funny and kind to everyone. I should’ve told her how much I appreciated her and how much I loved her. I realized that anyone can die any day. This video was truly beautiful. We all should appreciate the ones we care for now before it’s too late.

      Real closed heart you have there. It reminds me of when I ran a daycare. One of my workers dad, who was a Sheriff's deputy, would come in at lunch everyday, AND EVERYDAY, kids would run up to him hugging on him, trying to get his attention (because at their very young ages they actually still looked up to cops), and EVERYDAY, he would push them away, saying things like, "GET AWAY FROM ME! I DON'T LIKE KIDS UNLESS THEY'RE MY OWN grandkids!" So he'd push them away hollering at them, and then scoop up his own grandkids. After he made one of the little ones (3 years old) cry, I told him he was "banned from the property until he LEARNED how you treat people, let alone kids"! I never liked him anyway, as it was a church daycare and he was unfortunately part of the congregation. I couldn't keep him from going to church but I COULD AND DID keep him from coming up to the daycare on a weekday when the church was closed off and the daycare was open. Not a good example of empathy OR LOVE toward others who AREN'T "reserved for close family members".

    It's very true to care and say you love your family/friends before it's too late. The future holds many things, which bring death or happiness. You never know what's going to happen next. One moment you think you know everything that's going to happen and the next, your clueless. Bad things can happen and you won't predict it. So it's important to love your family/friends when you have the chance because, you don't know what gonna happen next. :) ^-^ :D

    So heartbreaking and sad. It reminds me of my aunt Karen who passed away a couple Januaries ago.
    She had a stroke while she was in the doctor's office. She was fine for several days after that, but then she suddenly got very sick. She died a few days later. Me and my parents had visited her a couple weeks before she died. We had driven all the way up from Florida. I assumed she would recover and I would see her again during the summer, but when I heard that she had passed away, I was devastated. I realized after that that you really do have to enjoy the time you have with loved ones. Because, you really don't know when you could lose them.

    Sister Helen Mrosla, a Franciscan nun, submitted "All the Good Things" to Proteus, A Journal of Ideas in 1991. Her article also appeared in Reader's Digest that same year, was reprinted in the original Chicken Soup for the Soul book in 1993, and was offered yet again in 1996's Stories for the Heart.
    Sister Mrosla first met Mark Eklund in her third-grade classroom at St. Mary's School in Morris, Minnesota, in 1959, and she encountered him again in 1965 when she served as his junior high math teacher. In April 1971, Mark was sent to Vietnam and assigned to the 585th Transportation Company in Phu Bai where he worked in a truck parts depot, and he kept in touch with his family and friends (including Sister Mrosla) through letters. In August 1971, as she was returning from a vacation, Sister Mrosla learned of Mark's death from her parents. (Although he died in Vietnam, Mark Eklund was not killed in combat -he died in his sleep of a pulmonary and cerebral edema.)

    RIP MARK 🌂
    RIP CHESTER 💧
    I’ll stop ranting, but don’t forget death is a serious subject and suicide is worse: no one should be thinking about suicide, tell someone if you’re thinking of suicidal thoughts - I’ve been through it too - It’s not an easy thing to get over also it’s worse with symptoms like depression and addictions.

      Dragon Stryke ok so Chester had suffered from depression since he was a kid. He had coped with drug addiction and sexual abuse. In his late teen years he joined linkin park, at the time being homeless - also the band was called Xero at the time. The time went and the band name was changed to Lincoln Park but then they settled with Linkin Park. Skip ahead wayyy forward in time, July 20th, Chester hung himself in his house: he left behind a wife, 6 kids and friends and family etc. You might wanna google the details because I’m tearing up now typing about it.

    After I watched this, I called my crush and told him that I liked him, and he said he liked me back. A few days later, I got notified that he died in a car crash, and I cryed for the rest of the day. I just want to say thank you for sharing this, and I'm glad I got to tell the person I love how special they are before I didn't have the chance.

    I was expecting Mark to have some sort of mental issue where he constantly forgets things so he was thanking the nun for correcting him constantly and putting up with him. The end of the story had absolutely nothing to do with Mark being told to be quiet.

      Krac Attic yes it did. The one time everyone wanted mark to speak he didn't.. and he couldn't, the cheerful loud boy they all knew had turned into a strong and compassionate MAN. sadly, his time had ended
