A teacher on two students who give her mobility
The More Humbly Did I Teach blog points us to this very moving essay by a young Baltimore teacher with worsening multiple sclerosis about two students who help her through each day. She calls them her "special agents." They get her out of her car and into her wheelchair in the parking lot each morning, carry her heavy backpack, straighten her classroom, bring her coffee. She writes that "even if I write them the two most glowing college recommendations in the history of college recommendations, I still could not ever adequately express my appreciation to my Agents."

Sounds like there might be a cool story there, Sara.

What a touching essay. The students and the teachers are real role models. They're a great testament to the power of perseverance and human kindness.
