The Greatest 1st Grade Teacher Is Now Late

Rufaro has sent in some sad news concerning the death of a special person, someone who helped many others like herself through the first, and often most difficult year of education, thefirst grade. Her legesy lives on, in the lives of those who she came into contact with as we are about to hear. She was a woman of great character. She had inner strength you could almost feel as soon as you got within range of her. She had the auora of inner strength, power and authority that would put anyone aback if it was not for the gentle smile and often infectious heart warming laughter and mirth. She braved the torrent of new often tear stained and timid faces that entered her classrooms doors atthe beginning of every new year and she stayed true to her post for over 4 decades. Hers was the first voice many heard as they began their trek through the jungles and thickets of the educational relm. A firm but also very gentle voice whose dual nature was often almost mystefying considering the amount of stress that her post of duty inevitably brought along. She carried out her duties in such a manner that may a time you would find that the task at hand was finnished without much exertion or effort, this is the beginning of her tale,
the first grade teacher
