I found this amazing photo online: A teacher passing out graded essays while holding a stray cat she found wandering around her campus earlier that day. I have no idea who this teacher is or what school she teaches in, but she gets my vote for my (very informal) Best Modeling of Kindness Towards Animals while Teaching Award. If anyone can identify her, I’d love it if you would drop me a message!
