The relentless ticking of the clock in Ms. Ramirez’s classroom echoed the impatience building inside her. It was the end of term and the end of her tether. The kids were rambunctious, the parents demanding, and the administration unsupportive. A wave of exhaustion washed over her.

A young man, with a hesitant smile, stood at the door. "Ms. Ramirez?"

"Yes?" she replied, her voice sounding sharper than she intended.

He held out a box containing homemade cookies. The smell of cinnamon filled the room. "These are for you. You always said I had a knack for baking. I own a bakery now, and I just wanted to say thank you." She felt a strange tightness in her chest. A tear pricked at the corner of her eye.
