Student Comes Out To Teacher In Writing Assignment. Her Response Will Make You Cry.
Rebecca Eisenberg

I'm not crying, there's just a teacher writing an incredibly touching letter to her gay student in my eye.



"I am honored to be a witness to this weight being lifted off. You are an amazing, dynamic, compassionate, "with-it" young man who will give the world a gift just by you being you offering your love & spirit. If people choose not to be comfortable with your honesty — their loss my friend — their loss."

Her response was absolutely lovely.

Teaching SW and even College Skills, I have found that many students want to tell their story. I think it is why journaling is such an effective tool in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

What an amazing letter!
