😯 One of my students was secretly taking food from the cafeteria: when I discovered why she was doing this, I was speechless.
As a secondary school teacher, I deeply love my job. I love spending time with my students. Every day, I make sure they feel heard and supported.
One day during recess in the cafeteria, I noticed Mia, one of my students, secretly taking some food. At first, I didn’t pay much attention, but I noticed it was happening every day.
I initially thought she might have intended to feed the stray cats near the school, as I know she loves animals. However, it seemed strange to me that she would take food without telling the cafeteria staff, especially if her goal was truly to feed the animals.
Intrigued, I decided to follow Mia to figure out what was going on. As usual, she took a portion and quietly left the school. I followed her at a distance far enough away so she wouldn’t notice me.
Mia started walking away from the school, which intrigued me even more. If it wasn’t for the cats, where was she going with that food? She continued walking unhurriedly, until she finally stopped in front of a house.
There, she dropped the food in a mailbox. That’s when I decided to intervene. I approached her and gently asked her what she was doing.
When she explained everything to me, I was speechless.
