Tim came into my 5th grade classroom with a huge smile and a quiet demeanor. He and I connected well. He was always a student I would check in on in future years. One day, after finishing basics, he actually came in full uniform with his mom just to see me at the Middle School. This was a huge blessing to see him look so proud and confident. He was a very special guy!
