My Teacher The Dragon Slayer

(I’m an elementary education major, observing in a kindergarten classroom. One little girl waves me over, looking very excited.)

Little Girl: “Miss [my name]? You know my dreams?”

(I nod, but can’t get words out before she continues.)

Little Girl: “You’re in ’em. You’re always the one that fights the dragons!”

(I almost cry; it was the best compliment I’d ever received, hands down!)
