With trembling hands, I tore it open and there was a card. At the bottom I saw the signature and almost fainted: David. Then my eyes traveled up to the writing above his signature. It read, To the Ugliest Girl in Our Class”.Mouths dropped open. Some looked down at their desks, seemingly embarrassed for me. “What did you do?” asked a brave soul. I said. “My eyes filled with tears. It ruined Valentines Day for me. It shook what little faith I had in myself for a long time after. But I survived, and it gave me the motivation to undo the cruelty of David.” I smiled. “And thats why were going to have a card exchange.” Their eyes lighted up. “Write something positive and sincere to someone in the class. Even if its someone you barely know, theres always something nice to say. Admire their fashion sense or their basketball skills. Tell them you appreciate their friendly smile.” Looking on as they composed each message was always a treat. But the real fun came when they read what people wrote to them. From then on, I made it a Valentine tradition.After 20 years of teaching, I harbor few hopes that students will remember all of the vocabulary.
