A
He
was
in
the
first
third
grade
class
I
taught
at
Saint
Mary
’
s
School
in
Morris,
34
of
my
students
were
dear
to
me,
but
Mark
Eklund
was
one
in
a
neat in
appearance, he had that happy
?
to
?
be
?
alive attitude that made even his
occasional misconduct delightful.
Mark often talked constantly. I
had to remind him again
and
again
that
talking
without permission was not impressed
me so much, though, was his
sincere
response every time I had to
correct
him for misbehaving.“Thank you for
correcting me, Sister
！” I
didn’t know what to make of it at first,
but before
long I became
accustomed to hearing it many times a day.
One morning my patience was growing
thin when Mark talked once too often, and
then
I
made
a
new
teacher’s
mistake.I
looked
at
him
and
said
，
“
If
you
say
one
more
word, I am going to
tape(
用胶带封上
) your mouth
shut
！”
It
wasn
’
t ten seconds later
when Chuck, another student, blurted out,
“
Mark
is talking
again.
”
I
hadn
’
t asked any of the
students to help me watch Mark, but
since I had stated the punishment in
front of the class, I had to act on it.
I remember the scene as if it had
occurred this morning. I walked to my desk,
very
deliberately
opened
my
drawer
and
took
out
a
roll
of
masking
t
saying
a word, I proceeded to
Mark
’
s desk, tore off two
pieces of tape and made a big X
with
them over his mouth.I then returned to the front
of the I glanced at
Mark to see how he
was doing, he winked at I walked back to
Mar
k’s desk
and
removed
the
tape,
his
first
words
were,
“
Thank
you
for
correcting
me,
Sister.
”
One
Friday,
I
asked
the
students
to
list
the
names
of
the
other
students
in
the
room on two sheets of paper, leaving a
space between each I told them to
think of the nicest thing they could
say about each of their classmates and write
it took the remainder of the class
period to finish the assignment, and as
the students left the room, each one
handed me the paper.
That
Saturday,
I
wrote
down
the
name
of
each
student
on
a
separate
sheet
of
paper,
and
I
listed
what
everyone
else
had
said
about
that
Monday
I
gave
each
student his or her
long, the entire class was
smiling.
“
Really
？”
I
heard
the
whispers.“I
never
knew that
meant
anything
to
anyone
！”“I
didn’t
know
others liked me so
much
！”Then Mark said, “
Thank
you for teaching me,
Sister.
”
No
one
ever
mentioned
those
pieces
of
paper
in
class
again.I
never
knew
if
they
discussed them after
class or with their parents.
Several
years later, after I returned from vacation, my
parents met me at the
gave Dad a
side
?
ways glance and simply
said
，
“
Dad
< br>？” My father
cleared
his
throat
as
he
usually
did
before
saying
something
important.“The
Eklunds
called last
night
，
”
he
bega
n.“
Really
？”I
said.“I haven’t heard from them in
years.I
wonder
how
Mark
is.”Dad
responded
quietly.“Mark
was
killed
in
the
Vietnam
War
，
”
he said.
“
The
funeral(
葬礼
) is tomorrow, and
his parents would like it if
you could
attend.
”
I
had
never
seen
a
serviceman
in
a
military
coffin
before.
Mark
looked
so
handsome,
so mature.
After the funeral,
Mark
’
s mother and father
found me.
“
We want to show
you
something
，
”
his
father
said.
“
They
found
this
on
Mark
when
he
was
thought
you
might
recognize
it.
”
Opening
a
billfold,
he
carefully
removed
two
worn
pieces
of notebook paper that had obviously
been taped, folded and refolded many times.I
knew without looking that the pieces of
paper were the ones on which I had listed
all the
good
things that
Mark
’
s classmates had
said about
him.
“
Thank you so much
for
doing
that
，
”
Mark
’
s
mother
said.
“
As
you
can
see,
Mark
behaved
better
and
better
at
’
s all because
of you and your list.
”
Mark
’
s
classmates
started
to
gather
around
e
smiled
rather
sheepishly
and
sa
id
，
“
I
still
have
my
’
s
in
the
top
drawer
of
my
desk
at
home.
”
Chuck
’
s
wife
said,
“
Chuck
asked
me
to
put
this
in
our
wedding
album.
”
“
I
have
mine
too
，
”
Marilyn
said.
“
It
’
s
in
my
diary.
”
Then
Vicki,
another
classmate,
reached
into
her
pocketbook, took out
her
wallet and showed her worn list to the group.“I
carry
this with me at all
times
，
”
Vicki
said without batting an
eyelash.
“
I think we
all saved our
lists.
”
That
’
s when I
finally sat down and cried.
