STORIES — A Welcome Return
Sam, English, UK: After a chaotic first day back, one student, shyly approached me after class. She admitted that she had been dreading returning to school after a tough year, but the welcoming atmosphere and the genuine interest her classmates showed in getting to know her had melted away her fears. Hearing her words filled my heart with warmth and made me appreciate that school can be so much more than just a place of learning.
