A Heartwarming Story - He Read the Pool Chemicals!
Two or three weeks ago, I answered the phone to hear a very excited mom on the other end. “You’ll never believe what “John” just read to his dad and me last night!”
I was instantly full of curiosity. “What did he read?” I asked.
“We just purchased a large above ground framed swimming pool. John was so eager to put it together! As soon as the box was opened, he pulled out the directions, and without even thinking about it, began confidently and quickly reading them to his dad!”
“Wow! That’s wonderful!” I replied. My mind quickly jumped to last year at this time when John could not have read those directions and he would’ve been too scared to try.
“Yes, but that’s not all!” Mom continued, “After we filled the pool with water, without the slightest hesitation, John smoothly read the directions for all of the steps for putting the chemicals in the water! He read all the chemicals! Can you believe it?”
“Oh yes, I can believe it!” I delightfully responded. “John is an awesome reader and I’m very proud of him!”
His Mom bubbled over with pride and happiness, “You have taught him so much in just a little over a year! You understand him. You have so much patience. How can we ever thank you?”
“Sharing this story with me is all the thanks I need,” I replied. “I’ve got goosebumps! I’m honored to be one of his teachers. I’m so happy for him! You’ve made my day!”
