#2 I had an adult literacy student many years ago who also discovered she was pregnant at the age of fifteen when the baby fell out. She was a daydreamy sort of girl in the hills of Kentucky who’d taken nine years to get as far as fourth grade, but most of that was social advancement — she’d stopped learning anything useful halfway through first grade, though she caught up quickly the year I tutored her. At any rate, she was a big, big-boned girl, and just assumed she was continuing to get fat. The boy married her, the marriage was a successful one, and she knew exactly what she was doing for their second child.

Once I gave her the tools she needed to learn how to learn, she pushed her daughter to get a high school diploma. Her son added honour cords to his, followed by graduating from the police academy at the top of his class. Though she never went for a GED herself, she loved being able to read to and with her daughter’s son, and ended up leading a bible study group in her church

#3 ^ You lit up someone's life, TW, and the blessings flowed forth. I'm humbled to be in such company.

#4 I was merely the midwife, dear M. She did all the hard work after I spent a grand total of 30 minutes a week with her in one of the meeting rooms at the public library. Her goal was to read the bible, so after we did the day’s lesson on words starting with that particular letter of the alphabet, I’d help her sound out the assigned verse in her bible, then the verses before and after, using it as an excuse to practice looking up words and discussing what the verses meant. She was a bright woman, and needed no more than that to go galloping off on her own. I was humbled to see what real learning looked like — I had it so easy in comparison.

One of the things I deeply regret about being sick is that I wasn’t able to take up tutoring again once the trailing daughters needed me less. It was a small thing that impacted three generations and beyond.
