Steven:

I’m so glad to know that my story helped you forget about a few worries that were bothering you. Thanks for letting me know that.

There’s a final story coming out tomorrow (Wednesday, the 11th of March) that I think you’ll get a kick out of. It’s an extension of the above story, demonstrating what the power of 3 words can do for a little boy.

Thanks!!!

Hello there Ann:

Isn’t it amazing how our stories are eeriely similiar? I also became a math whiz later in high school and years later ended up handling millions dollars worth of investments for clients – that’s a lotta math!

Thanks for writing in and sharing your heartfelt story. I continue to be amazed at the similiarities between all of our stories even though we’re all individuals with unique fingerprints. There are just some things we all have in common (i.e. adversity, dealing with tough people, etc.)

My jaw just dropped to the floor as I read your story because I had one almost identical to it. I was born deaf and am oral also, have worn one hearing aid all thru my life. I was struggling with arithmetic too as a kid, and during one homework lesson with the math, my exasperated father asked in a very loud voice if I was ever going to learn my arithmetic. I was in tears at that point. I grew to hate math classes.

A geometry teacher in junior high turned me around and I loved geometry. The math just seemed to fall into place and made sense. She illustrated the use of math so well with the geometry lessons, it was like a lightbulb went off in my head, DUH!

Kira:

You are most certainly welcome! I can feel your energy and wish you the best of luck in finding those teachers, if you get a chance to do it.

Like my fifth grade teacher, those two teachers who inspired you probably were not aware of the impact they made on your life. If you can find them, I’m sure they’ll love hearing from you even if you can’t visit them. Teachers love hearing back from their students even if it’s many years later.

Thanks for writing in!

Thank you , thank you for sharing this for us, Stephen, I’m deeply touched by it, I have met two teachers like that, a lady and a talented guy, But I have got no chance to meet that lady till now, one day, if I go back to the place I was born, I ‘ll let her know that her motherlike love made me feel so lucky and have made something different in my life . As for the guy, I just wanna say” thank you !”here , and may him happiness and health around him. I have and will pray for him sometime. I love them! It’s true.
