Two years ago, I taught a student who had never attended school before. Rosetta was six years old. It was difficult for her to master the objectives of the curriculum however; she was very studious. She worked hard to accomplish the objectives of the Kindergarten curriculum. Her pride in herself grew as the school year continued. She touched my heart. At the end of the school year, we had an Awards Day. The award she received was for the Most Improved in my class! She pranced around the room and smiled as she showed her award to everyone she encountered!
I agree, this is a touching story! As a teacher, I find that it is so exciting to teach a child who is excited to learn. It sounds as though you helped guide her "school career" in the right direction by giving her a positive first experience!
