“Well, that’s that!” Mr. Garcia announced, pushing back his chair with a cheerful squeak. It had been a fantastic day of teaching; the students were engaged, respectful, and eager to learn. A wave of satisfaction washed over him. The sun's rays through the window warmed him.

He felt a sense of overwhelming happiness.
