One Special Little Guy

There are so many children that have been in and out of my life which makes it hard to choose one story that really touched me. I do remember one little guy,Jonathan , who came to my classroom just three months after arriving from a refugee camp in Africa. He was an amazing little one and so advanced. He learned English very quickly and could speak both Urdu and English by the end of the school year. He had the most beautiful smile and his skin was a velvet smooth chocolate color. He always had a smile for me and a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. He amazed me with his resilience and joy at all the newness of his new environment. I wish we all could love life as much as he did.
