I'm a nice guy! (According to God and my students)

So, I've been working with kids for about two years. I've heard many things from them (which you will hear (or see?) over the course of this blog), but today I heard a blessing. We have "emailer of the day" which is where we read a child's email and guess whose it is (simple, right?). Well, today, the email mentioned a name, mine. "Mr. David is a nice guy." Well, that was shocking. Seriously, I'm just a normal "teacher." I'm strict, disciplinary, and not fun, and yet these kids love me! They want to go see movies with me and I was even invited to go to the beach with one's family. Kids are always surprising, but also, I learned another thing with what they say. They are a blessing. I've been feeling down and unappreciated lately, and then these kids surprise me with kind words. God knows when and how to lift a spirit up, and I thank Him for that everyday.
