Mrs. Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school. She told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because there in the front row, slumped in his scat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs, Thompson noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he needed a bath. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually lake delight in making his papers with a red pen, making bold Xs and then putting a "F" at the top of his papers.

Mrs. Thompson was required to receive each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However. when she received his file, she surprised. Teddy's first and second grade teachers both wrote. "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He has good is a joy to be around." While his third grade teacher wrote "His mother's death has been hard on him but tried to do his best." Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn, sometimes sleeps in class and doesn't show much interest in school..." By now, Mrs, Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself.

By Christmas, Mrs, Thompson got presents wrapped in beautiful paper, except for Teddy's. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper. Some children even laughed when she found a rhinestone（人造钻石）bracelet with some stones missing, and a bottle with one-quarter full of perfume. But she stifled the children's laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on her wrist. Teddy stayed after school that day and said, "Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my mom used to." After the children left, she cried. On the very day, she quit teaching reading, and arithmetic. Instead she began to teach children.

Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become the best in the class. A year later, she found a note from Teddy, telling her that she was the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. Six years later she got another note from Teddy saying that he had finished high school. Four years later, she got another letter, saying that he would soon graduate from college with the highest of honors. Then four more years another letter came. The letter explained that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had, But now his name was a little longer---the letter was signed. Theodore F. Stoddard, MD

There was yet another letter that spring, Teddy said he'd met his girl and was going to be married. He was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit in the place at the wedding that was usually reserved for the mother of the groom. At the wedding ceremony, Dr, Stoddard whispered in Mrs, Thompson's ear, "Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference." Mrs. Thompson, tears in her eyes, whispered back, She said, "Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you."
