Getting inside the classroom every day and trying to cope with all those students who have different personalities and learn using different strategies isn’t that easy. However, watching a shy student raising their hand and speaking in front of the whole class, or seeing a struggling student getting an ‘A’ makes you realize that it’s all worth it. It requires only special people to be teachers, because not everyone can rise to the task of shaping young minds into compassionate and responsible people who’d become a valuable part of the community.
The ideal teachers always go the extra mile just to make sure their students are doing their best to achieve the most they can. This help usually expands outside of the classroom too. And even if this effort may not be recognized by the parents, the school’s principal, or the community, that doesn’t really mater, because teachers know how great of an impact they make.
One physical education teacher from Valdosta, Georgia was giving his students a lesson in basketball when one of them, a girl named Kristin Paulk, approached and asked him whether he could do her a favor. The teacher said yes even before he knew what she would ask. The girl then said: “Can you tie my hair in a ponytail?” The teacher didn’t think twice before he knelt down and started doing her hair. Meanwhile, a fellow colleague named Kandice Anderson noticed the quite unusual sight and decided to put it on tape. She later posted the video on her Facebook page, writing:
“When your job goes beyond teaching… #CoachO #Love”
Kandice only wanted to show her friends what it really takes to be a teacher, and never did she think the video would be seen more than 3 million times. The phys ed teacher had no idea his kind act vent viral and he became famous. People found this way too adorable, and he was featured on Good Morning America.
“It was shocking to me that it got that much attention because we all do it.”
The teacher has three children on his own so he happens to know how to make a ponytail. He jokes how his expertise in hair styling stops there and if sweet Kristin wanted a more complex hairstyle she should have probably asked someone else to do it for her.
Kristin’s mother was also a guest at Good Morning America where she shared how she felt like after watching the video. She says she is more than happy knowing her girl has a teacher who cares so much.
We hope there are more teachers like this coach out there, who would do anything for their students’ well being.
This video is the sweetest thing you’ll see all day.
Here’s what Tiger Woods’ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, is up to now.
He made an effort to help those around him in addition to playing golf, which is why he founded The Tiger Woods Foundation, which promotes education for kids all over the world. Tiger is liked by some people despite having many admirable traits. The majority of people likely disliked him because of the adultery scandal in 2009.
It was 2001 when Tiger and Elin first spoke. When he first became interested in her, she was already in a relationship. Jesper Parnevik, who later introduced them, asked Elin to look after the kids. Despite her initial disinterest in Tiger, their relationship progressed. They got married in 2004, following their engagement in 2003. It was an intimate wedding.Sam Alexis and Charlie Axel, the couple’s 2 children, were born to them. The story describing Tiger’s adultery was then published. Parnevik, the man who had introduced them, expressed disappointment in Tiger and said he thought he was a better man than that.
Tiger decided to take a break from golf in order to spend more time with his family. But the marriage was already having issues, so in 2010, the couple divorced. After their divorce, Elin received nearly $100 million, which she used to buy a house in Florida where she now lives with her children.
Elin clarified that everything is going well and that she simply connects with Tiger on a child-focused level.
At the college’s commencement ceremony, psychology graduate Elin was one of the featured speakers. Being able to give the speech made her extremely happy, especially in light of the criticism she had received for not saying enough.
After their divorce, Elin began dating Chris Clin, a wealthy American businessman and philanthropist, but he tragically died in an accident.
