A few months after I had settled in, my teacher whom I idolized, Miss Ugland,5 asked me if I would consider moving to another classroom: the school wanted to push me a grade higher. I was just starting to feel comfortable, and the potential change scared me. That was when she told me, “Maria, don’t be afraid. Always push to learn; you have nothing more to learn in my classroom.”
Wow thats so different than china
