She always would comment, "You never know, THIS penny could be the one to put you over a million bucks... they all add up over time..." She washed the coins and then placed them in instant coffee jars with real lids, and we would count them and roll them into bank rollers and haul them to the bank for tally into our account.<BR/><BR/>In the same way, one student at a time adds up to a whole bunch of students by the end of one's career. And we don't always get to know about every success. But it really counts in that one's life, and that is the reward. We sow; we nurture; sometimes we water and sometimes we reap.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Hummingbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472911361719330133noreply@blogger.com
