“No one is so rich that he does not need another’s help; no one so poor as not to be useful in some way to his fellow man.”
– Leo XIII

There isn’t a particular reason that this quote caught my eye this morning, but as I thought about it more and more, one of the biggest roles that I have as a teacher is to encourage others. So many times in my already brief teaching opportunities, the student(s) I am working with just need to believe in themselves. Confidence. God created each of us with unique gifts, and as such, each one of us is tremendous value. We are all part of the body.

“On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor.”
– 1 Corinthians 12:22, 23
