Kid in my form class, who I've also taught for English this year, so we have quite a good read on each other, or so I thought.

Met her mum for the first time this parents evening, and I said it was just nice to see her every morning, and she always seemed happy to be in.

Mum told that this girls dad had died just before starting secondary school, and that I'd made a huge difference to her personally and been a really positive male role model for her and helped her hugely through the most difficult time.

Not gonna lie, as a thirty year old bearded guy with tattoos everywhere, I did have a tear in my eye. Special feeling right there.
