Expensive attention: a gift to the teacher from a poor student led Internet users to delight
An American schoolboy from a very poor family gave his teacher a Christmas present that became Best Present According to USA Today Experts. A picture of a small gift posted online primary school teacher Rachell Uretzky-Pratt. In a matter of hours, the picture scored more than 120 thousand reposts.
In the USA, there is a tradition: before leaving for holidays on Christmas Eve, schoolchildren give small gifts to teachers and receive return gifts from teachers.
Schoolchildren are trying their best to find out what they are doing: some give large sets of chocolate, others give a new phone or a book in the gift edition.
One of Rachell's students had nothing to teach the teacher, as the boy grew up in a very poor family.
But the boy well knows that attention, and not the cost of a gift, is expensive. Therefore he for several weeks he diligently collected pieces of marshmallow in a bag, which are given at school lunches completely free. For Christmas, I had a very small bag, which the boy decided to give to the teacher for the holiday.
This incredibly touched both the teacher and the classmates of the boy. And along with them, millions of Internet users were so impressed that the national media drew attention to the story.
Rachell wrote in her social media account that she I have never received such a valuable and pleasant gift from anyone. She encouraged everyone to learn to be grateful for what they have and for what other people give them.
It is not important how much a gift costs, but whether it comes directly from the heart, from the soul. This is the meaning of giving for Christmas and New Year - do not hit with the bounty or the size of the wallet, but share a piece of your soul with those who are dear to you.
