This is one of my favourite quotes of all time. As a guidance counsellor and previously as a teacher, I have witnessed this many times by teachers, school administration, parents and often a combined force of all the key adults in the child’s life.

It is in these wonderful breakthrough moments that we stop and remember why we do what we do – because often it’s the most challenging kids that need us the most and those who make us stronger each time.

Have you been fortunate to be that adult?
