Teacher Asks To Borrow Student's Pencils—And Discovers Heartwarming Messages Written On Them By His Mom

The Twitter account 'Call to Activism' shared how a teacher discovered that a student's mom had written empowering messages on his pencils.

In one of the more touching teaching moments that has gone viral on social media in awhile, a teacher found one of their students was using pencils upon which the student's mom had handwritten affirmations.

The teacher was running low on supplies and put out a call in the class for pencils. One student requested they be able to keep the pencils their mom made them and of course the teacher said yes.


However, the student agreed to share a few of them because the messages were important.

The messages—easily over 20 of them—featured sentences that uplift and affirm the student.

They included:

  • "You are knowledgable."
  • "You are a math whiz."
  • "Proud of you every day"

You can see the social media post here:

People congratulated the mom on being awesome, adding affirmations into her child's school day.



Many people were deeply moved by the gesture.


Others shared what they used to do, or currently do, for their own little scholars.



Shouldn't we all strive to make that much of a positive difference in a kid's day?

School is almost over for the year in North America, but this sort of message can inspire people for next year.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
