Breakthrough

I had an older student that's normally so well-behaved really act up yesterday.  I asked her what was wrong and told her I knew she didn't normally act up like that.  She wouldn't tell me, but after a couple minutes, she perked up, and was completely fine.

Today I pulled her aside and told her she did a great job "coming back to the class" after that.  I asked her again what was wrong.  She said nothing was, but then suddenly just threw her arms around me and smiled super big.  The smile looked real.
