Q: What makes Travail so special?
Mrs. Kathalynas: Travail is one of the most kindhearted students I have ever had. He always has kind words to say, and he is constantly helping others in any way that he can. Last week, the students had a writing response question to answer in my reading class. The question was, "Do you know anyone who NEVER says anything bad about someone else?" It was an overwhelming answer, "Travail!" They all wrote about his kindness in their response journals. As a teacher, we know how we view students, but it is always interesting to see when other students see the same qualities we see in students. Travail is a joy to have in class, and he deserves to be recognized for his huge heart and outgoing kindness to all.
