My Love Grandma (my mother’s mother) used to say something along these lines:
‘Remember, Linda, people become what you think of them. Expect better actions, and gradually you will get them.’ Ruth Love (Wootton) Thomas, Miz Ruth —- First and Third Grade teacher.
I always felt she knew what she was talking about, for even when she was way up there in years, she would have a random student stop by her house to tell her she was their most favorite teacher, ever!
Miz Ruth, who believed in the best of children, even when others didn’t.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
