Teacher Brings Food for Poor Students Daily, Kids Team Up as Emergency Takes Her Away — Story of the Day

When their beloved teacher, Mrs. Parks, had a medical emergency, her students wanted to help her somehow. Paying for her expenses seemed impossible until all of Mrs. Parks’ students teamed up.

Mrs. Parks loved her job as an elementary school teacher. Her students were usually eight to nine years old, but the entire school knew and respected her dearly. She always won ‘Favorite Teacher’ at the end of the year, and her former students started communicating with her on social media. But Mrs. Parks was the best for one reason.

Her students were her only children. Her husband died in their early 30s, and he was the love of her life. She couldn’t stomach even the idea of dating or the fact they had lost their chance of making a family together. Therefore, Mrs. Parks put her heart and soul into her school, going above and beyond for her kids.

She taught at the local public elementary school, but her students came from all sorts of families. Some had insanely wealthy families who hated the idea of private schools, while other kids came from average families. However, every once in a while, she had children with barely anything, so she paid attention to them.

Sometimes, she had to dip into her own money, which wasn’t much on a teacher’s salary, to buy them notebooks and pencil cases. But Mrs. Parks did it gladly and encouraged them to study. She had to pay for a few kids’ meals or bring some food from home daily so they could take it home later, but she didn’t mind.

Many years passed, and Mrs. Parks kept in contact with many of her students, thanks to social media. She had been invited to weddings and even baby showers, which delighted her. Her hard work had saved her during her most vulnerable time, and soon she realized she was meant to do this until her last breath. However, she didn’t know her last breath might come too soon.

“And that’s why turtles are not considered amphibians…” Mrs. Parks finished one of her lessons, and although she had not performed any physical activity, she was out of breath. A sudden burning sensation started in her gut. Something’s wrong, she thought but hoped that her students wouldn’t notice.

“Mrs. Parks, are you alright?” a kid, Tony, asked, frowning.

“You look pale, Mrs. Parks,” another child, Hannah, added.

Mrs. Parks started nodding, hoping to explain everything was alright. But the words wouldn’t come out. She collapsed in front of her class, and everything was a blur from then on. There were red and blue...
