- If I could request a a gift to myself this year (I'm a teacher), it would be for each student to receive the support and knowledge they need, when they need it. It would be meeting each student at their own station in life and helping them along the path to a greater understanding. It would be for them to walk away from our room a more self-confident and better person than they were when they arrived.
