Top Of His Class
Mike couldn’t sit back and watch. His grandma was his everything, and he’d do anything to help her with things at home, even if it meant missing a few classes. His story touched Ms. Anderson. She could taste the worry in his voice and see the sparkle in his eyes as he fought to hold his tears back.
She was even more surprised that no one at school noticed the boy wasn’t spending his afternoons in class. It was impressive that he was still top of his class. Ms. Anderson had to step in.
