As I read all of the stories from Connecticut and the
horrible shooting at an elementary school, one thing comes to mind: I pray so hard for Amelia to have incredible
teachers like some of these kids had.
From my first post you can see that I’ve seen some of the “bad
apples” of teachers, I’ve heard of those that always complain about Amelia not
being still, talking too much, but then I hear about a teacher protecting her class from a murderous monster telling them “I need you to know
that I love you”. Wow! In what had to be the most terrifying moment
she knew the words that would comfort those babies. She became a parental figure when their
parents couldn’t be there and gave them the utmost love and respect,
disregarding her own welfare.
That’s the teacher that I want for Amelia, I know they are
out there. Sure, we all have bad days
and working with all of those kids has to be the hardest and most unrewarding
job there is, I know I couldn’t do it.
But Kaitlin Roig chose this career path and gives it all she can, she
loves “her kids” and teaches them the most important lesson we can hope
for: love.
I am saddened by the loss of those sweet children and
wonderful staff and I hope that Ms. Roig can go back to teaching, she gives us
parents hope. Hope that in the worst of
circumstances when we can’t be there to hold them that they are loved.
Thank you to those teachers for that hope.
