A friend will not leave you in trouble: a boy studies with his pet (7 photos)
Remember your favorite teacher? The one who always believed in you and made you fall in love with your subject? Many years later, students fondly remember teachers who were a beacon of hope in difficult times. A boy named Lopez will never forget Ali Bonilla Esteban, who fulfilled his unusual request - she allowed him to take a dog to class.
One day a student approached the teacher with an unusual request.
Difficulties arose in the boy's family, and there was no one to look after his beloved dog Pequeno. The thought that she was left alone distracted the child from his studies.
Fortunately, he had a wonderful teacher who created such a comfortable and safe environment in the classroom that Lopez plucked up the courage to approach her with an unusual request. “He excitedly asked me if Pequeno could go to school with him,” Ali said in an interview. “I agreed. I wanted to support him so that he could feel comfortable with his faithful friend.”
The boy asked if he could bring his dog to class because there was no one to look after him due to difficulties at home.
The boy could not concentrate on his studies and get good grades when his kind heart and thoughts were occupied only with worries about his little dog. And academic success is important for a child: if he studies well, he will be able to find a job and buy all the treats for his pet. Maybe he'll even develop a drug that will help dogs live 100 years.
The teacher agreed and soon noticed that Lopez became happier and was able to concentrate on his studies.
The teacher was touched by the student’s sincerity and concern for his four-legged friend. When she saw the positive changes in Lopez's life, she knew it was the right decision. She posted a touching video of a boy diligently studying while holding his dog, who sits patiently and watches the class. The child felt happier and calmer - now he was only worried about math problems.
Since that day, Pequeno has become a mutual friend; she brings joy not only to her owner, but to the whole class
Dogs can make positive changes in the learning process. Just a few minutes of playing with furries can reduce cortisol levels and improve your mood. When students are more relaxed, they learn better and are more willing to attend classes with charming assistants waiting for them.
"I agreed. I wanted to support him so that he could feel comfortable with his faithful friend."
In addition, the teacher taught the children an invaluable lesson in compassion.
"I know how hard you try to learn, I know that you have difficulties. I know the pain you are going through, and this reason is known only to the two of us. I also know that you have a desire to succeed and that you will do it ", Esteban captioned the video.
Teachers have incredible power to change the lives of their students for the better.
We believe that the storm in the boy’s life will soon calm down, and he will be able to live joyfully. When he grows up, perhaps he will meet a child in need and help him. The seed of kindness planted by a teacher will grow into a beautiful garden.
