A small gesture can make a big impact.
That was proven by Leigha Bishop when she did something amazing for one of her students.
The little girl came to school with a new hairstyle but wasn’t happy and even Ms Bishop’s compliments were falling on deaf ears.
Determined to make the little girl feel good about herself, Ms Bishop did something that few would think to do but the results were incredible.
Coming to school the next day, Ms Bishop had her hair done in the exact same way as her student did the day before. Needless to say, the little girl was over the moon with her new look-alike and the pictures made for some truly heartwarming stuff.
When your student is just so cute, you HAVE to copy her??♀️? #PreKchronicles #TwinningTuesday @LVE_vikings @FortBendISD pic.twitter.com/YlBhwfdeau

In a country where children are often terrorized and marginalized in the classroom this is an awesome gesture but this teacher. I’m not even sure she understands the magnitude of what she did, AMAZING.

I know you don’t get paid enough and Texas educational laws are not on your side, but YOU matter! What YOU do matters. You are living out “be the change you want to see in the world”.
