A special teacher in a child's life can be the difference between success and failure for the rest of that child's life. I had that teacher in Grade 5 - back in the last century, in 1964. I moved on to Junior High School the next year, and then to Senior High, and then I moved on to Life. My teacher moved to another city while I was in High School and I lost track of him. In 1996 I happened to run into an old elementary school classmate and we talked about the old school and old friends. I asked if she knew where my favorite teacher ended up and she said "After University I ended up living in the same city they were in. We've been next door neighbors for 15 years". If it hadn't happened to me, I would never have believed the story! I got the chance to see my old teacher again and I did exactly what the kids in this video did - I told him about the impact he'd had on me and that I still benefitted from the things I'd learned in his class that year. He died a few years later which made that chance meet-up all the more special. If you have the chance to tell someone how much they meant to you, don't put it off until "later".
YES!! I work at a local college in Pennsylvania and the college kids have called me their favorite! Cause I talk to them and ask them how their classes r going and making sure they r doing ok. And all I do there is make sure they have dishes to eat off of. They smile when they see me…one ran up to me after summer break and hugged me cause she missed me. Inspire people every chance u get!! Cause u never kno what a lasting effect it has on them!! I’m not sure how I inspire them…but they inspire me…to always b a better version of me…which in turn…inspired them to b a better version of themselves!! That’s what most unique about this!! Always stay positive for u…but always stay positive for them!! Lasting impressions will NEVER die!!
I didn’t go to the last day of school & I regret it because I’m not going back to that school but I did send emails to my favorite teacher he replied I love him so much as a friend! He was the one that understood me the most! & the best teacher I’ve ever had.
Thank you, @artievfilms! We couldn't agree more! There are so many educators across this country who never get the recognition they truly deserve. Thank you for watching!

I am a teacher. I am speechless. How wonderful! 🎉
Teachers have gotta be the best people out there

Great video, I hope the local news got to air it and show others why teachers matter so much and are undervalued.
