All the Good Things
He was in the first third-grade class I taught at Saint Mary's School in Morris,Minnesota.All 34 of my students were dear to me,but Mark Eklund was one in a million[1].Very neat in appearance,he had that happy-to-be-alive attitude[2] that made even his occasional mischievousness delightful.
Mark also talked incessantly.I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable.What impressed me so much,though,was his sincere response every time I had to correct him for misbehaving."Thank you for correcting me,Sister[3]!" I didn't know what to make of it at first,but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.
