Stuff like this is what it's all about. That's why I miss the kids, too. I once had a student from Grades 6-8 who had self-esteem problems, but he was a WONDERFUL student, and I was so fortunate to be a witness to his growth for 3 years. He was (is) a very talented artist, & he designed a poster that said, "Stop your whining & start your winning!" He had come to that point in 8th Grade, & he came back to visit as a happy, confident high schooler who was doing well.

I like the kid's attitude. Admire students who take responsibility.

Sigh. Isn't this what teaching is all about?
