An Apple For Teacher

I was just given my first apple by a student.

I've been given small gifts before, even fruit before, but there was something special about being given a single apple by a student.

Her name was Valentina, and we were chatting about her victory in a speech competition last night. Jim and Kevin were among the judges, and they were able to tell me first-hand that she just blew everyone else out of the water. Her class was about to being (mine had ended), and I was headed out the door when she stopped me, smiled that giant smile of hers, and handed me an yellow apple.
