Tell me about a former student you still have a good relationship with.

"I am still close with a few of the families that made up my first class when I taught third grade. In my first year, I learned just as much from those students and their families as the kids learned from me. I was incredibly grateful for the support of the parents that year. I am still especially close to one student who has babysat for my children and helps me set up my classroom each summer. I also see his mother every so often to catch up. Teaching has really brought some great people and families into my life."
